Detailed explanation-1: -In the Six Day War of June 1967, Israel defeated the combined armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan, capturing the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula. For Israel, it was a stunning triumph; for Arabs, a humiliating defeat.
Detailed explanation-2: -On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was created, sparking the first Arab-Israeli War.
