The Six Day War was an attempt of all of the countries surrounding Israel to eliminate Israel as a state. Many fights and factors led up to the war including when Egypt created a blockade cutting off Israel's supply route to Asia and affected Israels trade. Israel would not fight until another country fought against them first. The air force was a main military force used during this war. The war lasted from June 5th to June 10th, throughout these days their were a few main fights. The war began with a launch from Jordan on June 5th. By the end of the war Israel had not been eliminated, it had expanded. Israel had gained Sinai, Golan Heights, Gaza Strip, and the West Bank. During the war, many people were killed in the fight to save Israel.
We learned about The Six Day War. We learned about the affects it had on Israel and how we gained more land at the end of the war. We did not know that Israel had gained many famous cities from this war. We would still like to learn about more of the struggles during the war.
