Arabs Mark 40 Years of Defeat
Forty years ago, Israeli forces engaged the armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Six days later, the war ended with Israel capturing the West Bank and Al-Quds from the Jordanians, the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, and the Golan Heights from Syria. More than 350,000 Palestinians fled their homes in the West Bank and Gaza, in what many considered their second Nakba after the loss of Palestine in 1948.
