THE BBC has admitted it was “wrong” after reporting that Israel did not start the 1967 war in which the country occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza, and the Golan Heights.
The Six-Day War, which ran from June 5-10 1967, began when, in response “to an apparent mobilisation of its Arab neighbours, Israel staged a sudden preemptive air assault that destroyed more than 90 percent Egypt’s air force on the tarmac”, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
