(FILES) An Israeli soldier watches Palestinian refugees crossing the war-wretched Allenby Bridge to reach the east bank of Jordan 22 June 1967. The June 1967 war was a stunning military victory for Israel, but the start of a political stalemate that continues to this day. During the Six-Day War Israel suffered around 700 fatalities, while estimates of the numbers of Arabs killed range from just over 11,000 to 21,000, with losing the Egyptians paying the heaviest tribute. Israel was left in control of the Sinai, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. Some 350,000 Palestinians fled the newly occupied regions to take up residence in neighbouring states. Most of them have never been able to return, and are still living in refugee camps.
