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 from previous conflicts, including the 1956 Suez Crisis. Israel's decisive victory resulted in the capture of territories like the West Bank and Golan Heights, displacing hundreds of thousands of Arabs.
