Yom Yerushalayim, or Jerusalem Day, commemorates Jerusalem’s reunification in 1967.

The IDF reunified the eternal Jewish capital during the Six Day War, when the surrounding Arab countries vowed to destroy the State of Israel.

In a stunning victory, Israeli forces liberated the eastern half of the city, including the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site, on June 7, 1967.
