In June 1967, Israel launched preemptive strikes against Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, capturing the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Golan Heights in just six days. This episode unpacks the tensions leading to the war: Nasser's blockade of the Straits of Tiran, the removal of UNEF forces, and the mobilization of Arab armies. We explore the daring Operation Focus that destroyed the Egyptian air force on the ground, the fierce battles for Jerusalem's Old City, and the controversial decision to capture the Golan Heights. We also discuss the lingering consequences—the occupation, UN Resolution 242, and the seeds of future conflicts. Join Lucas and Luna as they dissect a pivotal moment that continues to shape geopolitics today. #SixDayWar #1967War #Israel #Egypt #Syria #Jordan #Nasser #GolanHeights #Jerusalem #OperationFocus #UNResolution242 #ColdWar #MiddleEast #MilitaryHistory #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast #ArabIsraeliConflict Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
