Israel had asked Jordan not to join in on the war, but President Nasser of Egypt called Jordan and told them that they had won the previous battle between themselves and Israel, although they really had not. Because of this, Jordanian troops attacked the Israeli half of Jerusalem. Israel didn't have to worry about Egypt anymore, so they turned their attention on Jordan. By the next morning, Israeli troops seized the other half of Jerusalem that they did not yet own. Just one day had past, and already the Egyptian air force had been eradicated, as well as the Jordanian forces suffering heavy casualties. Israel continued it's operations against arab air force bases, raising the amount of fighters destroyed to 416! With almost total control of the skies, Israel's fighters and bombers were able to protect the tanks and artillery on the battlefield below. They prevented Jordanaian reinforcements from reaching Jerusalem, and at 10:00 AM, Israel had taken control of the Western Wall! By the next day, Jordanian forces were pushed back to their side of the Jordan River. That day, the Jordanians arranged for a cease-fire. The first group had surrendered.
