ISRAEL-EGYPTE-GUERRE-ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT-SIX DAY-WAR-AI

A "Vautour" mirage flies over an Israeli army tank in the Sinai on the Israeli-Egyptian border, May 25, 1967, a few days before the beginning of the Six-Day War. On June 5, 1967, in retaliation for Egyptian troop movements and following the Egyptian blockade of the Strait of Tiran to Israeli ships on May 23, 1967, Israel launched attacks on Egypt and Syria. In six days, from June 5 to 10, 1967, Israel seized the Syrian Golan Heights, the West Bank annexed by Jordan, including East Jerusalem, the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula as well as the Gaza Strip occupied by Egypt, thus giving the conflict the name of the Six-Day War.
