It is June 5, 1967. Many Israeli planes fly to Egypt. The planes attack Egyptian army airports. Many Egyptian planes are destroyed.

After the attack, Israel controls the sky. Israel attacks Egypt on the ground. Israel wins. Israel has access to the Red Sea again.

The Israeli soldiers also go to Jerusalem. They take some parts of Jerusalem from Jordan.

Four days later, Israel attacks Syria. Israel takes some part of Syria.

The war changes the map of the whole area. The problems still continue. Soon, more wars between Arabs and Israel come.
