| | Arab Israeli Conflicts - The June 1967 Six Day War |
 | | As what would become known as the 1967 Six Day War approached, Field Marshal Amir, deputy supreme commander of the armed forces, and Shams ad Din Badran, the minister of defence, urged Nasser to strike first, saying the Egyptian army was strong enough to win. |
 | | On the morning of June 5, the first day of the 1967 six day war, Israel launched a full-scale attack on Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. |
 | | By June 11, day six of the 1967 Six Day War, the Arab defeat was total; Israel now held all of historic Palestine, including the Old City of Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, as well as Sinai and part of the Golan Heights of Syria. |
