The 1967 Palestinian exodus, commonly known as the Naksa (Arabic: النكسة, "the setback"),[1] was the displacement of around 280,000 to 325,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, when the territories were captured by Israel in the Six-Day War.[2] A number of Palestinian villages were destroyed by the Israeli military such as Imwas, Yalo, Bayt Nuba, Beit Awwa, and Al-Jiftlik, among others.[3]
