The Arab-Israeli war of June 1967, or Six-Day War, radically changed the map of the Middle East.
Between June 5 and 10, Israel defeated Egypt, Jordan and Syria and occupied Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, east Jerusalem, and Syria's Golan Heights.
Although Israel has since withdrawn from Sinai and the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and east Jerusalem have been annexed and the West Bank remains occupied by the Jewish state.
The conflict was preceded by several weeks of mounting tensions.
Israel vowed on May 10 at the United Nations not to stand by when faced with incursions from Syria.
On May 16 Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser demanded that UN peacekeepers in the Sinai withdraw from Israel's border.
He then blocked the Gulf of Aqaba to Israeli shipping, cutting off the Israeli port of Eilat.
On May 30, King Hussein of Jordan signed a mutual defence pact in Cairo with Nasser.
