The 6 Day Arab-Israeli War Ends in Ceasefire - 1967
Sunday, June 10, 2007
On June 10th 1967 the Six-Day War ended as Israel and Syria agreed on a United Nations mediated cease-fire.
Also known as the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, the Third Arab-Israeli War, Six Days' War, an‑Naksah (The Setback), or the June War, it was fought between Israel and its Arab neighbours Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Algeria also contributed troops and arms to the Arab forces.
On June 4 1967, Israel launched a pre-emptive attack on Egypt's airforce fearing an imminent invasion. Jordan then attacked western Jerusalem and Netanya. At the war's end, Israel had gained control of eastern Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. The results of the war affect the geopolitics of the region to this day.
