The Six-Day War was a brief but intense conflict fought between Israel and neighboring Arab states Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in June 1967. The war was sparked by escalating tensions and hostile actions, including the closure of the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships and the massing of Arab troops on Israel's borders. In just six days, Israel emerged victorious, capturing the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank, and Golan Heights, dramatically reshaping the political landscape of the Middle East.
