Arab-Israel war of 1967, famous as Six Days War also falls in the same category. Although it was a limited war in nature, yet it carried unlimited lessons in the field of warfare for generations to come. It was the third round in which Israel was involved in war with Arab Countries since its creation. In the Arabs reckoning it was to be a revenge for their disaster in 1956 and for Israel it was a war of survival. The outcome of war showed a humiliating defeat for Arabs and complete victory for Israel. The entire Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, Ghaza Strip and Jordanian territory west of River Jordan including Jerusalem was captured by Israel.
