Jerusalem, June 5th 1967: A strange irony of the Six Day War was that Israelis had no plans to retake Jerusalem, much less the remainder of the area captured from Jordan. During the initial fighting with Egypt, Israel actually notified King Hussein that it had no intention of attacking his country. Hussein, however saw no option but to side with Egypt and join in the great Arab "victory." After shelling Western Jerusalem, the Israelis swiftly counterattacked, with astounding success.
