In 1967 war broke out between Israel and the combined forces of Egypt, Jordan and Syria. The latter group was aided by Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Algeria. Israel came out victorious. The war lasted for 132 hours and 30 minutes - that is a little less than six days. In two of the three fronts the duration was even shorter. Only on the Syrian front did the war last for six days.
