Liberty presented a threat to the secrecy of their war plans. On that fateful day Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats attacked the Liberty with a merciless barrage of torpedoes, machine gun fire, rockets, and napalm. They attacked her in wave after wave, again and again and again. They blasted a 40-foot hole in the side of the ship with their torpedoes. When the Liberty failed to sink they sent in helicopter gunships and machine-gunned the lifeboats. The clear intent of the attackers was that no American be left alive. The attack took place in broad daylight and lasted for over two hours. Only when the Sixth Fleet had sent rescue aircraft did the attackers finally withdraw.
