THE SIX DAY WARI chose this for my project because I am interested in historical wars and the Six Day War was reasonably modern, so the equipment used is advanced and interesting. This also interested me because even though the Israelis were at war with Syria, Jordan and Egypt, they were still victorious thanks to their clever tactics and strategic movements. My goal is to find out how exactly Israel managed to dominate the air combat and ultimately win this war. I also want to learn how this war was won so quickly since a war between four countries shouldn't be over in just six days. Overview: The Six Day War was a four-country war between Israel, Syria, Egypt, and Jordan. Israel was alone during the conflict as the other three states were allied against them. The war followed conflict over water supplies as Israel attempted to tap into the Jordan River. General Moshe Dayan was the Israeli Defense Minister, he started the war because he feared that the three Arab states would soon attempt a coordinated attack on Israel. Causes From the 1950s onwards, tensions over water policy increased. Israel had exploited the Jordan River and the Sea of ​​Galilee to irrigate the southern Negev desert. Syria decided to divert the water to prevent its use by Israel. There have been tensions between these countries for many years, such as Egypt imposing a maritime blockade on Israel and repeated terrorist attacks on Israel's borders by other Arab states. A key cause of this conflict, however, was the Arab states' rejection of Israel and the Egyptians telling the United Nations to leave. On the evening of May 16, Egypt unveiled the United Nations Emergency Force, which had been deployed in the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip to deter hostilities...... middle of paper ..... .s with Egypt and Jordan. On the morning of June 10 a new armored brigade advanced through the gap in the Syrian lines to the north, took the town of Banias and then continued southeast to take Masada. At 8:45 am on the 10th of June, however, Damascus radio announced the fall of Quneitra, while the Israelis were still about 10 kilometers from the city. This was apparently intended to provoke Soviet intervention by suggesting an Israeli advance into Damascus, but it backfired. Hearing that the city had fallen, Syrian defenders across the Golan feared that they would soon be cut off, and they panicked and fled. By nightfall all Syrian resistance in the Golan Heights had collapsed. Israeli losses during the Golan operation amounted to 115 dead and 306 wounded. Syrian losses were estimated to be 2,500 dead and 5,000 wounded, with a further 591 taken prisoner..
