The Sinai had long been a part of Egypt. It was quite a strategically important territory as it provided access to the Suez Canal, one of the busiest trade Canals in the world, connecting east and west.

:The Egyptians had roughly 100,000 troops stationed in the Sinai, while Israel had around 70,000 troops poised to invade.

:Israeli forces attacked on June 6th along with the aforementioned airstrike on Egyptian airfields. Beginning by capturing the Gaza strip, then taking just 2 days to push all the way to the Suez, it is reported that Israel inflicted 10,000 Egyptian casualties in one day alone. By June 8th, from an Egyptian perspective was all but hopeless

:Israel made offensive moves against Jordan beginning on June 5th, they invaded the West Bank, a Palestinian territory occupied by Jordan for protection. Inside the West Banks was he holy city of Jerusalem, an extremely important city for both Judaism and Islam. By the end of June 7th, Israel had captured the entirety of the West Bank, including Jerusalem.

:Syria waited 4 days to join the conflict, but on day 4 they surprise attacked Israel by bombing them, however, the attack was largely repelled as Israel had predicted that Syria would attack. There was some debate as to whether or not Israel should launch an offensive into Syria as well. On the 9th of June it was decided Israel would attack the Syrian border region, the Golan Heights. The attack began the next day and by the evening of June 10th the entire region had been captured by Israeli forces.]]> 2019-04-25 13:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/noahbhill357/q30o875uf14p/wish/354107828 noahbhill357 https://padlet.com/noahbhill357/q30o875uf14p/wish/354108131 :Fought between June 6th-12th, 1967 (Hence the name, The 6 day war) 

:Tensions had been building for some time, but debatably, Egypt caused the conflict by denying Israel the right to use the straights of Tiran for trade 

:However, Israel struck first by launching a preemptive strike on Egyptian air-bases, crippling Egyptian ability to retaliate in the skies

:Only a week before the start of the conflict, Jordan had signed a defensive pact with Egypt, aimed at Israel. The aforementioned pact operated through a "an attack on one is an attack on all" policy. In addition, Egypt and Syria had close ties and shared a strong hatred for Israel, causing Syria to join on the side of Egypt upon the outbreak of the war.

:Egypt and their allies casualties numbered around 17,000, with thousands more captured or injured.
:Israeli casualties numbered just under 1,000 with 4,500 more injured.

:The war was an outstanding victory for Israel, and an embarrassing defeat for its foes, especially Egypt.
 
:Around 300,000 Palestinians left the West Bank upon Israeli occupation, along with 100,00 Syrians leaving the Golan Heights upon Israeli occupation.

:A max exodus of Jews from Muslims majority nations occurred as well, with thousands leaving for Israel or Europe.

:This would not be the end of conflict in the Middle East between Israel and their Islamic Neighbors, with the Yom Kippur War occurring in 1973, including many of the same powers who fought just years earlier.]]> 2019-04-25 13:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/noahbhill357/q30o875uf14p/wish/354108263 chaosyt409 https://padlet.com/noahbhill357/q30o875uf14p/wish/354110024 Israel V.
