jun 5, 1967 - The 6 Day War and the
Occupation of Palestine
Description:
Israel launches a preemptive strike on Egypt, after threats of closing off the Straights of Tiran to Israeli shipping. Israel's attack is massively successful, taking only a week to decimate Egypt's military. This Israeli victory led to the occupation of the West Bank, the Golan Heights, and the Gaza strip, which continue today.
