Israel and Arab countries: Israel, surrounded by Arab countries, strongly believes in its sovereignty and for this it often shows a sharp temper. Especially to its neighboring enemy countries. Israel has recently shown aggression against Lebanon, but this is not the first time that Israel has shown aggression. The history of this small West Asian country is colored with bloody wars. From the time Israel came into existence till today, its war history is interesting. Not two or four, Israel has attacked nine times. Let's take a look at those wars.
First War (1948)
Israel was formed in 1948 and at the same time Israel had to face war. Five Arab countries jointly attacked Israel which had become a separate country after separating from Palestine. The countries which were attacked were Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Israel single-handedly defeated all the five. In that war Israel captured a large area except the Gaza Strip.
The Second War (1956)
In 1956, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal. At that time, the canal was owned by a company controlled by France and Britain. France and Britain supported Israel and attacked Egypt and captured the canal zone. However, due to international pressure, the victorious countries soon had to give up their control over the area.
The Third War (1967)
Ten years later, in 1967, war broke out again between Israel and its neighbors. This war, recorded in history as the Arab-Israeli War, lasted for just 6 days from June 5 to June 11. 5 lakh Palestinians became homeless in that war. In that war, Israel defeated Egypt in Gaza, Syria in the Golan Heights, and Jordan in the West and East Banks of Jerusalem.
Fourth War (1973)
Both countries were trying to regain the land lost by Egypt and Syria in the 1967 war, but when they could not get their land back through diplomatic means, both countries attacked Israel in 1973. America, Soviet Union and the United Nations played an important role in stopping this war.
The Fifth War (1982)
