Yom Kipur uprising

The Yom Kippur War, also called the October War of 1973, was a conflict between Israel and a coalition of Arab countries led by Egypt and Syria. It began on Yom Kippur, the holiest Jewish holiday, catching Israel by surprise. The Arabs aimed to regain territory lost in earlier wars, particularly the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights. Despite initial Arab advances, Israel mobilized quickly and stabilized the front. The war ended with a ceasefire and led to subsequent peace negotiations. It deeply affected the Middle East, highlighting the region’s ongoing tensions and the importance of diplomatic resolution.
