Six-Day War

The Six-Day War was a conflict in June 1967 between Israel and neighboring Arab countries, including Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Tensions had been escalating due to border disputes and threats. On June 5, Israel launched a preemptive strike, quickly gaining air superiority and territory, including the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, and Golan Heights. The war ended on June 10, resulting in a decisive Israeli victory and significant territorial expansion. This conflict reshaped the Middle East and intensified Israeli-Arab tensions, with lasting implications for the region’s politics and peace efforts.
