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.

Israel Wedding Party Tragedy - 2001

Thursday, May 24, 2007

On 24th May, 2001 more than 20 people were killed and hundreds injured at a wedding party in Jerusalem after the dance floor collapsed.

Guests were left clinging to the sides of the Versailles wedding hall when the third floor suddenly gave way at about 2245 local time and crashed through two storeys below.

There were nearly 700 guests in the building, which is in the industrial Talpiot area of Jerusalem. Many were left trapped by the falling rubble which left a gaping hole through the centre of the building.

Reports say about 250 people have been taken to hospital but rescuers say there are signs of life beneath the debris. A special Israeli army rescue unit is at the scene.
