History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War, fought from June 5 to June 10, 1967, saw Israel engage Egypt, Jordan, and Syria amid escalating tensions rooted in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Israel's preemptive strike led to the capture of approximately 1,200 square kilometers, including the West Bank and Golan Heights. This conflict's legacy continues to influence military strategies and regional dynamics, particularly in Israel's ongoing actions against Iran.
