The Arab-Israeli conflict is a modern historical development.  With the rebirth of Israel in 1948, it became a major international event.  The conflict has resulted in five major wars, a number of minor conflicts, and two Palestinian Intifadas (uprisings).  It is also the root cause of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism.

The postal history of civilian No Service, Returned & Captured Mail resulting from the Arab-Israeli conflict has been neglected in philatelic literature.  Philately is simply the study of stamps and postal history.  Postal history can be defined as postal covers sent through the mail, as well as associated material, which illustrate the historical episodes of the civilian postal system.  This includes the functions of the collection, transportation and delivery of such mail.
