D16 EGYPTIAN SINAI WAR - 1967 v.4.1

Following numerous border clashes between Israel and its Arab neighbors, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser expelled the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) from the Sinai Peninsula in May 1967.

On June 5, 1967, the Six Day War begins when Israel launched a bombing raid on Egyptian airfields. Initially it told the UN that Egypt had attacked first, but later described the strikes as preemptive. Egypt denied planning to attack Israel, and asserted that Israel's strike was not preemptive but an unwarranted and illegal act of aggression.

On June 8th, Israel had completed the capture of the Sinai.
On June 9th, Egypt counterattacked.
