    Sure - the 6 Day War was initiated by Israel, which then seized territory in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and Sinai Peninsula.

    This is illegal under international law, particularly according to United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, which Israel has managed to successfully ignore ever since.

        Closing the straits was not technically an act of war, and a preemptive strike (like Israel’s) means you start a war first, no matter which way you look at it.
