  • The Six Day War

    In May 1967, Israel found itself faced by hostile Arab armies on all fronts. Israel invoked its inherent right of self-defense, launching a preemptive strike (5 June 1967) against Egypt in the South, followed by a counterattack against Jordan in the East and the routing of Syrian forces entrenched on the Golan Heights in the North.
