I recommend:

--THE HEIGHTS OF COURAGE, by Kahalani (tank battles in Golan heights);

--ARABS AT WAR, by Pollack (very interesting, though lengthy, treatment of several Arab armies thoughout the post-WWII period, including the Yom Kippur war)

.

Look for "Lessons of Modern War" by Cordesman and Wagner. It is a 4 volume series. The first covers the Arab Israeli wars from 1973 on, the second the Iran-Iraq war, the third the Falklands and Afghanistan, and the fourth the first Gulf war. They are excellent, operations research quality analysis of what worked or didn't and why, not mere atmospheric boilerplate and "we wuz thar" stuff.
