		During the war, Israeli armed forces captured the east bank of the canal, which subsequently became the boundary between Egypt and Israel and was therefore closed until June, 1975.

	Crimes Of War Project > The Book
		Until 1945, an act of war in the traditional and historical sense was understood to mean any act by a State that would effectively terminate the normal international law of peacetime and activate the international law of war.
		An example of modern State practice is provided by the United Kingdom, which during the Suez War of 1956 and the Falkland Islands War of 1982 strenuously denied that it was at war with, respectively, Egypt and Argentina.
		The term act of aggression has to all intents and purposes subsumed the legal term act of war and made it irrelevant, although act of war is still used rhetorically by States that feel threatened.
