TOU. You have taken my words too literally (do you know what that means?). The use of the word 'thousands' was used underline the extreme (four times for the Syrian and Egyptian armies alone, according to your figures) difference in the number of men at arms between the Arab army and the Israeli army.
Just admit the obvious the Arab armies were a complete rabble with very little discipline.That is why they lost, even with the supreme advantage of surprise.
