well-executed battle plan, and the poor quality and leadership of the Arab forces. Israel
seized control of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank and East
Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria. Israeli morale and international

overconfidence within the ranks of the IDF, contributing to initial Arab successes in the
subsequent 1973 Yom Kippur War. The displacement of civilian populations resulting from
the war would have long-term consequences, as 300,000 Palestiniansfled the West Bank
and about 100,000 Syrians left the Golan to become refugees. Across the Arab world,
Jewish minority communities were expelled, with refugees going to Israel or Europe.
