The 1967 Arab-Israeli War... known as the Six-Day War or June War, was fought between Israel and its Arab neighbors Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. As a result of the war, Israel gained control of 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.

In the Six-Day War 40 years ago (June 5-10, 1967), Israel overwhelmingly defeated the armies of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, and then "occupied" huge swaths of new territory. Since then, hatred, fighting, and killing in the region has continued more or less unabated.

It was Day Seven, the day after the six days of war. Israelis, who only a week earlier were terrified of annihilation from the armies of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq, had not only survived; their soldiers were occupying the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, Syria's Golan Heights, and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

During the Six-Day War, the IAF demonstrated the crucial importance of air superiority during the course of a modern conflict. It was able to thwart and harass the Arab forces and to grant itself air superiority over all fronts; it then complemented the strategic effect of their initial strike by carrying out tactical support operations. Of particular interest was the destruction of the Jordanian 60th armored brigade near Jericho and the attack on the Iraqi armored brigade which was sent to attack Israel through Jordan.

The first strikes of the six-day-war happened on June 5th, 1967 by the Israeli Air Force. The entire war only lasted 132 hours and 30 minutes, (less than 6 days). The fighting on the Egyptian side only lasted 4 days, while fighting on the Jordanian side lasted 3. Despite the short length of the war, this was one of the most dramatic and devastating wars ever fought between Israel and all of the Arab nations. This war resulted in a depression that lasted for many years after it ended. The six-day-war increased tension between the Arab nations and the Western World because of the change in mentalities and political orientations of the Arab nations.
