They criticized his plans for combining the economies of the occupied areas with that of Israel. They also scored his plans to settle Israelis in strategic areas, such as the Golan Heights, and his quasi-annexation of occupied territory through the gradual spread of Israeli law.

It was the biggest air victory since the 1967 war. Israel claimed seven Syrian jets were knocked down, while Syria admitted losing three MIGs but said four Israeli Mirages were bagged.
