Hi Dan,
Sure, this is a sort of film-collage composed of Israeli newsreel and images celebrating the ’67 war; I believe it was cobbled together very quickly afterward as a semi-official portrait of the conquest, and I also think it is still in circulation and may even be available as a DVD through some Zionist orgs. It was issued as “6 Days to Eternity” in English (as in the French poster you have), but in Hebrew it's called “Six Days to Victory” (Shesha yamim le’netzach).
I don’t recall who directed it, but in any case it is more of a compilation of newsreel sequences so not a directed work per se. I know that it went on to be one of the most ‘cannibalised’ films on the war, with the various clips endlessly re-used until this day - so you’d recognise virtually every shot from one source or another.
I hope all well, very best,
Nick
