A combination of pictures created on May 11, 2017 shows a file photo (L) released by the Israeli Government Press office (GPO) and taken on June 7, 1967 of then-Israeli paratroopers Tzion Karasenti (L), Yitzhak Yifat (C) and Haim Oshri (R) standing next to the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site in the Old City of Jerusalem after it was captured in the Six-Day Arab-Israeli war; and another picture (R) of the same veterans posing next to the Western Wall taken fifty years later on May 11, 2017. The Arab-Israeli war of June 1967, or Six-Day War, radically changed the map of the Middle East. Between June 5 and 10, Israel defeated Egypt, Jordan and Syria and occupied Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, east Jerusalem, and Syria's Golan Heights. Although Israel has since withdrawn from Sinai and the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and east Jerusalem have been annexed and the West Bank remains occupied by the Jewish state. / AFP PHOTO / GPO FILES AND AFP PHOTO / DAVID RUBINGER AND MENAHEM KAHANA (Photo credit should read DAVID RUBINGER,MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP via Getty Images)
