AI Overview


Since its establishment in 1948, Israel has been involved in several major wars initiated by Arab states and armed groups. The most prominent were the full-scale wars launched by coalitions of Arab states in 1948, 1967 (perceived threat of attack), and 1973.

Major wars initiated by Arab forces

1. 1948 Arab-Israeli War (War of Independence / Al-Nakba)
Context: Following the end of the British Mandate and the UN's partition plan, Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948.

Action: The next day, a coalition of five Arab countries—Egypt, Transjordan (Jordan), Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon—invaded Israel with the stated aim of preventing the formation of the Jewish state.

Outcome: The war ended with armistice agreements in 1949. Israel secured its independence and expanded its borders, while hundreds of thousands of Palestinians became refugees.

2. Six-Day War (1967)
Context: A period of escalating tensions led to the Six-Day War. In the weeks prior, Egypt ordered UN peacekeepers out of the Sinai Peninsula, remilitarized the area, and blockaded the Straits of Tiran, which Israel considered an act of war.
Action: Surrounded by hostile forces, Israel launched a preemptive strike on June 5, 1967, targeting the Egyptian and Syrian air forces.

Outcome: Israel achieved a decisive victory, capturing the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria.

3. Yom Kippur War (1973)
Context: Seeking to reclaim territories lost in 1967, Egypt and Syria prepared a coordinated offensive.

Action: On October 6, 1973, Egyptian and Syrian forces launched a surprise attack on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The offensive targeted Israeli positions in the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights.

Outcome: While suffering heavy initial losses, Israel successfully repelled the invasion. The war ultimately paved the way for the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
