Signs of Jesus’ (pbuh)
Second Coming
East Jerusalem, the Old City and location of many religious shrines,
was held by Jordan. After the 1967 War, Israel controlled both parts of
Jerusalem, and the Wailing Wall, which has become Israel’s national
symbol, came under Jewish control for the first time in 19 centuries.
Nasser, who strengthened his army with Soviet weapons, denied
the ceasefire that ended the Six Days War in in March 1969, in order to
regain the land to Egypt, which were lost in April 1968. He also initi-
ated a months-long mild “war of attrition.” Attacks on Israeli targets
were finally ended by heavy Israeli artillery bombardment of and air
attacks on the cities along the Suez Canal. This development caused
Egypt to sign another ceasefire agreement with Israel.
The Wailing Wall came under the
Jewish control after the 1967
War, when East Jerusalem was
invaded by Israel.
