THE SIX DAYS: In June 1967, the Israeli General Staff orders a preemptive lightning war as a response to the blockade of the Straits of Tiran. At the peak of a long-standing standoff between the Arab powers and the Jewish state, the IDF's strategy drastically alters the political and military geography of the region.
