History

Historical Context

In June 1967 Israel’s six-day war seized the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights, creating a military administration that still shapes security policy. Today the IDF’s swift deployment against civilian groups such as Breslov Hassidic men entering Mukhmas echoes the post-war pattern of large-scale Israeli presence established after the 1967 conflict.
