History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War from June 5 to June 10, 1967, saw Israel clash with Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, resulting in Israel's occupation of significant territories, including the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This conflict heightened regional tensions and led to a surge of Jewish immigration to Israel, increasing its population by about 200,000. The recent missile strike on Dimona underscores the ongoing security concerns rooted in this historical conflict.
