Six years later, in what became known as the Yom Kippur War, Egypt and Syria launched a two-front attack on Israel to reclaim lost territory. Israel acquired control of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip, Jordan's West Bank and East Jerusalem, and Syria's Golan Heights following the war. Israel launched the Six-Day War in June 1967, following a series of maneuvers by Egyptian President Abdel Gamal Nasser. Following the 1956 Suez Crisis and Israel's invasion of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria signed mutual defense treaties in anticipation of an Israeli army deployment. Tensions in the region grew in the following years, particularly between Israel and Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.
Israel won the battle in 1949, but 750,000 Palestinians were displaced, and the land was divided into three parts: Israel, the West Bank (along the Jordan River), and the Gaza Strip.
The State of Israel was established on May 14, 1948, precipitating the first Arab-Israeli War. The United Nations issued Resolution 181, called the Separation Plan, in 1947, to partition the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states. Israel's battle with Palestine extends back to the late eighteenth century. Israeli-Palestinian War: The Effectiveness of the Israeli Defense Forces
