以阿战争(Arab-Israeli Wars)
发生於1948～1949、1956、1967、1969～1970、1973及1982年间以色列和阿拉伯各国的主要军事冲突。第一次战争（1948～1949）起因於以色列根据联合国分割巴勒斯坦後宣布成立独立国家。阿拉伯五国（埃及、伊拉克、约旦、黎巴嫩和叙利亚）为了抗议这项行动，向以色列发动了进攻。在以色列获得许多领土後，冲突宣布结束。1956年埃及宣布苏伊士运河国有化後，爆发了苏伊士危机。一支由法国、英国和以色列组成的盟军向埃及和苏伊士运河区域发动攻击，但不久就在国际压力下撤军。1967年六日战争爆发，以色列向埃及、约旦和叙利亚发起进攻，战争在以色列占据大量阿拉伯国家土地後结束。1969～1970年由於埃及与以色列之间的摩擦，一次未宣而战的战争再度爆发，战斗发生在苏伊士运河沿岸，後在国际外交调解下结束。1973年埃及和叙利亚对以色列开战（斋月战争），尽管战争初期阿拉伯国家取得胜利，但最後仍胜负未分地结束。1979年埃及与以色列达成和平协定。1982年以色列为了驱逐巴勒斯坦游击队而入侵黎巴嫩。1985年以色列军队从黎巴嫩大部分领土上撤除，但直到2000年始终保留一块狭窄的缓冲区。亦请参阅Camp David Accords、Dayan, Moshe、Arafat, Yasir、Assad, Hafiz al-、Begin, Menachem、Ben-Gurion, David、Nasser, Gamal Abdel、Rabin, Yitzhak、Sadat, Anwar el-、Hizbullah。
English version：
Arab-Israeli Wars
Series of wars fought between various Arab countries and Israel 1948-49, 1956, 1967, 1969-70, 1973, and 1982. The first war (1948-49) began when Israel declared itself an independent state following the United Nations' partition of Palestine. Protesting this move, five Arab countries—Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria—attacked Israel. The conflict ended with Israel gaining considerable territory. The 1956 Suez Crisis began after Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal. A French, British, and Israeli coalition attacked Egypt and occupied the canal zone but soon withdrew under international pressure. In the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel attacked Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. The war ended with the Israel occupying substantial amounts of Arab territory. An undeclared war of attrition (1969-70) was fought between Egypt and Israel along the Suez Canal and ended with the help of international diplomacy. Egypt and Syria attacked Israel in 1973 (the Yom Kippur War), but, despite early Arab success, the conflict ended inconclusively. In 1979 Egypt made peace with Israel. In 1982 Israel invaded Lebanon in order to expel Palestinian guerrillas based there. Israel withdrew from most of Lebanon by 1985 but maintained a narrow buffer zone inside that country until 2000.
