Six-Day War

The Arabian states refused to recognize Israel as a state.  They thought that Israel had no right to be in existence.  The Six day war took place in June 1967.  The six-day war was commenced by General Moshe Dayan.  Israel thought they were going to be a attacked and thought this to be a counter-attack.  The war was fought between Syria, Jordan and Egypt.  Egypt had stationed its military in the Suez zone which Israel thought was a battle position in preparation for attack.  Instead of waiting from Egypt to make the first move, Israel made a military attack on the aerial forces of the three countries.  Israel defeated Jordan and Egyptian forces and then actually went into Syria and the Suez Canal.  Gamal Abdul Nasser, who was thought to be invincible, had a great loss.  The victory was vast for Israel, but this had given the new state a problem.  Now that Israel had so much new territory, it had Arab people in their boundaries.  The Arab residents joined the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which was deemed a terrorist group by Israel officials.  Now, the Israel police had a new job on their hands.
