Answer 1
The Six-Day War - the third major Arab-Israeli conflict - was in a sense a continuation of the first two wars. Broadly speaking, the causes of the fighting in 1967 overlapped with the causes of fighting in 1948 (Arab rejection of Israel) and 1956 (continued rejectionism and an Egyptian blockade of shipping to Israel).
Answer 2
Egypt made a number of overt threats to the peace and security of Israel. They closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli Shipping which cut off Israel from Iran (who at that time was ruled by the Shah and in Alliance with Israel) and other South Asian Nations. This severely diminished Israel's ability to procure petroleum. Also the armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan mobilized their troops to surround Israel and kicked out the UN observers who had been maintaining the Armistice.
Between the fear of a slow death (because of the lack of petroleum) and the fear of a quick death (because of the mobilized armies on its borders) Israel decided that a surprise attack was the best way to deal with these threats. Israel never expected the attack to be the overwhelming success that it was.
The Arab countries, Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq had started massing troops and aircraft close enough to invade Israel. Israeli spies uncovered this plot and Israel struck first, destroying almost the entire Egyptian air force the first day.
The Six Day war began with Israeli air strikes on Egypt's air bases which had been massing aircraft to cover an invasion of Israel. -Israel wiped out Egypt's air forces on the first day.
