==Comparison with the Six-Day War== | |||
In 1967, the Israeli army successfully occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights in Syria, and the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt within just six days, defeating the armed forces of several Arab countries. While the Arab armies faced defeat during that brief conflict, Hezbollah emerged victorious after 33 days of fighting. | |||
Researchers argue that Hezbollah's victory helped to counterbalance the earlier defeats of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan in 1967, which had shifted the political landscape in the region. This comparison between the two wars resonated deeply among ordinary people. In cities like Cairo and Amman, many citizens not only followed the developments of the 33-day war but also paid close attention to how long Hezbollah was able to resist against Israel. | |||
