I'm so glad you choose to accept wikipedia as an authoritative source:
"On the eve of the war, Egypt massed approximately 100,000 of its
160,000 troops in the Sinai, including all of its seven divisions (four
infantry, two armored and one mechanized), four independent infantry
brigades and four independent armored brigades. No fewer than a third of
them were veterans of Egypt's intervention into the Yemen Civil War and
another third were reservists. These forces had 950 tanks, 1,100 APCs
and more than 1,000 artillery pieces.
...
Syria's army had a total strength of 75,000 and amassed them along the
Syrian border.[35] Jordan's army had 55,000 troops[36] and 300 tanks
along the Jordanian border, 250 of which were U.S. M48 Patton, sizable
amounts of M113 APCs, a new battalion of mechanized infantry, and a
paratrooper battalion trained in the new U.S.-built school. They also
had 12 battalions of artillery and six batteries of 81 mm and 120 mm
mortars.[37]
Documents captured by the Israelis from various Jordanian command posts
record orders from the end of May for the Hashemite Brigade to capture
Ramot Burj Bir Mai'in in a night raid, codenamed "Operation Khaled". The
aim was to establish a bridgehead together with positions in Latrun for
an armored capture of Lod and Ramle. The "go" codeword was Sa'ek and end
was Nasser. The Jordanians planned for the capture of Motza and
Sha'alvim in the strategic Jerusalem Corridor. Motza was tasked to
Infantry Brigade 27 camped near Ma'ale Adummim: "The reserve brigade
will commence a nighttime infiltration onto Motza, will destroy it to
the foundation, and won't leave a remnant or refugee from among its 800
residents".[37]
100 Iraqi tanks and an infantry division were readied near the Jordanian
border. Two squadrons of fighter-aircraft, Hawker Hunters and MiG 21,
were rebased adjacent to the Jordanian border.[37]
On June 2, Jordan called up all reserve officers, and the West Bank
commander met with community leaders in Ramallah to request assistance
and cooperation for his troops during the war, assuring them that "in
three days we'll be in Tel-Aviv".[37]
The Arab air forces were aided by volunteer pilots from the Pakistan Air
Force acting in independent capacity, and by some aircraft from Libya,
Algeria, Morocco, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia to make up for the massive
losses suffered on the first day of the war."
The various arab nations sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind.
Boo-hoo.
