History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War, fought from June 5 to June 10, 1967, saw Israel engage Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, resulting in Israel's capture of 26,000 square kilometers, including the West Bank and Golan Heights. This territorial expansion intensified regional tensions, particularly with Iran, whose missile launches today echo the hostilities of that era, perpetuating instability and the threat of further military confrontations in the Middle East.
