Operation Gibraltar

Operation Gibraltar was a military plan launched in 1967 by Israel to seize the Gaza Strip, West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights from Arab control. It involved coordinated attacks aimed at rapidly capturing these territories to strengthen Israel’s security. The operation was part of the broader Arab-Israeli conflict and aimed to preempt perceived threats. However, it faced significant resistance, and the conflict escalated into the Six-Day War, resulting in Israel gaining control over all the targeted areas. The operation had lasting geopolitical consequences, influencing the region's stability and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
