Israel Captures Jerusalem's Old City and Temple Mount in Six-Day War

On 7 June 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israeli forces captured the whole of Jerusalem, including the Old City and the Temple Mount, a site revered by both Jews and Muslims. The BBC spoke to Arik Achmon, one of the first Israeli paratroopers to enter the Old City and reach the Western Wall that day. For the first time since the Second Temple fell in AD 70, the site where it stood came under Jewish sovereignty, which many readers of Bible prophecy see as a precondition for a rebuilt Temple.
