Pre-1967 Six Day War

Prior to Israel's capture of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the Six Day War in 1967 these areas were under Egyptian (in the case of the Gaza Strip) and Jordanian (in the case of the West Bank) occupation. Palestinian-organized Fidayeen units operated from these areas, and conducted attacks on both military and civilian targets in Israel.
