Yom Kippur War


 

The Yom Kippur War, Ramadan War or October War (Hebrew: ????? ??? ????????; transliterated: Milhemet Yom HaKipurim; Arabic: ??? ??????; transliterated: Harb October or ??? ????? transliterated: Harb Tishrin), also known as the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, was fought from October 6 (the day of Yom Kippur) to October 24, 1973, between Israel and a coalition of Egypt and Syria. The War began when Egypt and Syria launched a surprise joint attack (though recent evidence suggests that some key figures in Israel were aware of it ahead of time) in the Sinai and Golan Heights, respectively, both of which had been captured by Israel during the Six-Day War six years earlier.
