During the other days of the six day war, 107. squadron served to direct support of ground troops and the near isolation of the battlefield. For example, 8. JuneOuragany 107. squadron on the jordanian front bombed the bridge Bet Ha'arava, or 9. June bombed the syrian troops near Vassetu. A total of 16 aircraft and 19 pilots 107. squadrons for the six-day war carried out 319 sorties, which were lost threeOuragany, without loss of life.
Shortly after the six day war, 16. July 1967, was 107. squadron again cancelled andOuragany transmitted back 113. squadrons.

the Third reactivation
In June 1971 was 107. squadron again reaktivována, but its weapons have become the then state of the art aircraft Chel Ha'Aviru, americanF-4E Phantom II. The aircraft has so far been borrowed from 69., 119. and 201. squadron (two from each), but already in February 1972, the unit got its ownPhantomy. Under the command of Jiftacha Spektora 107. squadron has achieved so far nepřekonaného record - in aerial combats removed over 30 arab aircraft without losing a single pilot or navigator.
The first encounter with the enemy occurred 2. January 1973, when the patrolPhantomů 107. squadron to be with the syrianMiGy-21 and, in a maneuvering fight oneMiG ran into the ground.
The "general test" for the upcoming war happened 13. September 1973, when it was a group of fourPhantomů 69. and 107. squadron in the exploratory flight over Syria was attacked by sixteenMiGy-21. The fight eventually engage and Mirage from the 101. and 117. squadrons. The result was the downing of the twelveMig (of which three have gone to account 107. squadron) without a single loss.

yom kippur war
Saturday 6. October 1973, two hours after noon, the egyptian and the syrian army attacked Israel. The arab armies that tried to emulate israel's success by six years earlier, the next ground of attack from the outset operate an extensive air strikes against israeli air bases and means of air defense of the Sinai.

The very first day of the yom kippur war pilots 107. squadrons care of significant "reduction in the holdings of" the egyptian air force, when of 23 aircraft and helicopters, which were on that day, a total shot down, it was 14 on account 107. squadron: Amir Nachumi with navigator Josef Javinem shot down fourMiGy-17about the other twoMiGy-17 taken care of by Daniel Šaki with David Regevem, who in addition have added oneMiG-21, Shlomo Egozi with a Swarm of Manofem shot down fivehelicopters Mi-8, and after oneMi-8 Dov Joffe with Odedem Polegem and Ran Goren with Josef Jeari.
The other days of the yom kippur war the Chel Ha'avir concentrated mainly on stopping the waves of the arab fighter-bomber strikes against the tank čelům arab ground troops, stopping the other movements of the egyptian army on the eastern bank of the canal, strikes against air bases and means of air defense and attacking the logistics of the trips the enemy.

On Sunday 7. Octoberfuselage was tightly 107. squadrons conduct strike against egyptian air bases Beni Sueif and Bir Arída. The second assault wave, however, was revoked and most of the efforts of the Chel Ha'avir focused on the northern front on the Golan heights, where the Syrians immediately a threat to the territory of Israel. The first step but it was the suppression of syrian air defenses in the area. The territory east of the Golan heights was divided into four sectors and each of the squadronsPhantomů napadala objectives in one sector. 107. squadron was assigned to the southern sector, which was a battery of anti-aircraft missiles immediately attacked by a trio ofPhantomů 107. squadron, led by Jiftachem Spektorem.
Afternoon action 107. squadron in the second day of the war, were directed to attack the ceremonies for pontoon bridges across the Suez canal and thus to the disturbance of the movement of egyptian tanks on the eastern shore.

On Monday, 8. October fourfuselage was tightly 107. squadron engaged the resources of the syrian air defense on the approaches to the air force base Sajkal, which was immediately attacked by the other twelvePhantomyonce again led by Jiftachem Spektorem. During the attack, there were twofuselage was tightly hit by ground anti-aircraft fire, but both pilots were able to, every one fonts to the engine, to land safely in Ramat David. After odbombardování formation was attacked by two syrianMiGy-21, one of which shot down Spektor and the second mishandled manévrový the fight and crashed into the ground.

On Tuesday 9. October 1973, suffered a 107. squadron first loss, fortunately only on the technique. When returning from an attack on the egyptian air base Kotamíja was a shoulder-fired missiles; artillery is hit by the leading aircraft of a formation. The Pilot proved to burningPhantom tightened above the sea, where the crew have catapulted. The Pilot Harel Gilutz and navigator Josef Jeari, which, in despite issuing the ejection suffered injuries, were rescued by an israeli helicopter.
Shortly afterwards, he was to the east of Port Said hit another Phantom with pilot Daniel Šakim and navigator Giladem Rozenblatem. The Pilot, however, with a seriously damaged aircraft was able to land on the vanguard of the sinai base Refidim.
Before noon 9.October was three squadronsPhantomů, including the 107., entrusted with an extremely important and ambitious task - the bombing of the syrian general staff in Damascus. While eightPhantomů119. squadron successfully odbombardovalo, eightPhantomů 107. squadrons (each reportedly was carrying seven tons of bombs! Here, rather, I believe that this is a confusion of pounds per pound - 3200 kg sounds rendered credible.) for adverse weather over the target not. The aircraft were therefore ground návodčím redirected to the impact on the formation of 7. the tank division of the syrian army. The destruction of this formation allowed the realignment of the israeli 7. tank brigade, the stabilisation of the northern section of the golan queue and facilitate the implementation of the israeli counter-attack (which stopped up to 30 km from Damascus) the next day.
On Tuesday afternoon another formation 107. squadron again attacked pontonové the bridges over the canal. In flight to the target occurred at one of thePhantomů to a sudden pressure drop in the hydraulic system. The Pilot Joram Responsibility (the son of the commander of the air force Benjamin Peleda) and the navigator Boaz Lerner is still above its own territory successfully katapultovali. A few seconds of nato aircraft in the air exploded. The defect was probably as a result of damage to, the aircraft that suffered the first day of the war.

In the middle of the 10. October morningfuselage was tightly 107. squadron attacked the egyptian air base Abu Hammed, after noon, the syrian base Chulchul.
In the late afternoon of 16Phantomů it occurred to the base of Blaj, also in Syria. Just after odbombardování formation was attacked by a syrianMiGy-21. TwoMig they were immediately shot down Jiftachem Spektorem and Naftali Majmonem. None of thePhantomů has not been corrupted.

On Thursday 11. October morningfuselage was tightly 107. squadron attack on syrian air base Sajkal and the take-off area Elmaza near Damascus (basically a straight road section). Over Sajkalem were the Israelis attacked the syrianMiGy-21, one of which in a duel with Solomon Egozim ran into the ground.
In the afternoon 107. squadron attacked syrian base Damyr and also bombed the syrian observation posts on mount Hermon.

The seventh day of the war, on Friday, 12. October, in the morningfuselage was tightly 107. squadron again attacked syrian base Sajkal, where they were again attacked byMiGy-21this time, however, the iraqi. OneMiG shot down On Egozi, the secondMiG Naftali Majmon pushed to the impact to the country.
At noon, the four-member formation 107. squadron took off to the next attack on the Elmazu, where still take offMiGy-17, attacking the israeli ground units. Shortly after crossing the lebanese-syrian border was anti-aircraft fire hit the leading aircraft of a formation. The pressure in the hydraulic system almost immediately dropped to zero and dropped off one engine. The Pilot Ran Goren immediately threw all podvěsy and turnedPhantom back. Shortly after reaching israeli territory, when the aircraft became completely out of control, Ran Goren and navigator Miša Oren successfully katapultovali and about five minutes later they were picked up by helicopter.

On Saturday 13. October morning fourfuselage was tightly attacked syrian base Damyr, another group of four, then Sajkal. Over Sajkalem isfuselage was tightly once again clashed with the syrianMiGy-21. One of the Mig shot down Amir Nachumi, and became the fifth ace on thePhantomu.

On Sunday 14. October morning 107. squadron again attacked Elmazu, above which Solomon Egozi shot downMiG-17.
The same day, the Chel Ha'avir undertake a wide-ranging strike against the egyptian base of Tanta, which was the home of the egyptian squadronthe Mig-21 and two squadrons of the libyanMirage 5. For the strike have been identified three tajasetPhantomů. First 201. squadron, for the diversion of attention, has carried out a strike against a nearby base Mansour, which housed the elite of the egyptian squadronthe Mig-21. Afterfuselage was tightly119. squadron the attack on the means of air defense in the Tantě and only then attacked two six-member formation 107. squadrons (each of thePhantomů was carrying five 340kg (pum). During the attack formation was attacked by egyptianMiGy-21. Výsledem encounter was five of the downed Mig without own losses. After twoMiGách were shot down by Naftali Majmon and Amir Nachumi and one Jiftach Spektor. On the return journey was, however, onePhantom accidentally shot down Nešerem from the 101. squadrons. The Pilot of the Uri Bakal and navigator Gilad Rozenblat successfully katapultovali and after a few hours they were film festival's opening night from the waters of the Mediterranean sea.

During the yom kippur war, the pilots of 107. squadron made a total of 752 combat flights, which were shot down by nearly 30 arab aircraft and helicopters without a single loss of life. The activities of the enemy have lost fourPhantomybut the ratio of sorties for the loss was 188:1 (for comparison:119. squadron 185:1, 69. squadron 94:1 and 201. squadron 54:1).

After 1973
After the end of the yom kippur war, 107. squadron to continue to operate as a fighter-bomber unit.
In June 1982, during the operation Shalom Ha'Galil,fuselage was tightly 107. squadron carried out several strikes on the syrian network of batteries of anti-aircraft missiles in the valley of the Bekaá.
