jan 3, 1967 - Six days war

Description:

was fought between 5 and 10 June 1967 by Israel and the neighboring states Egypt.
Relations between Israel and its neighbours wasn't fully normalised after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. In 1956 Israel invaded the Sinai peninsula in Egypt, with one of its objectives being the reopening of the Straits of Tiran that Egypt had blocked to Israeli shipping since 1950. Israel was eventually forced to withdraw, but was guaranteed that the Straits of Tiran would remain open. While the United Nations Emergency Force was deployed along the border, there was no demilitarisation agreement.
