The
Yom Kippur War
, also known as the
Ramadan War
, the
October War
, the
1973 Arab–Israeli War
or the
Fourth Arab–Israeli War
, was an armed conflict fought from 6 to 25 October 1973 between
Israel
and a coalition of
Arab states
led by
Egypt
and
Syria
. The majority of the fighting between the two sides took place in the
Sinai Peninsula
and the
Golan Heights
—both of which were
occupied by Israel
in 1967 during the
Third Arab–Israeli War
—with some combat in
African Egypt
and
northern Israel
. Egypt's initial objective was to seize a foothold on the eastern bank of the
Suez Canal
and subsequently leverage these gains to negotiate the return of the rest of the
Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula
.
The war began on 6 October 1973, when the Arab coalition jointly launched a surprise attack against Israel on the Jewish holy day of
Yom Kippur
, which had occurred simultaneously with the Islamic holy month of
Ramadan
that year. Egyptian and Syrian forces crossed their corresponding ceasefire lines with Israel and invaded the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights, respectively. Both the
United States
and the
Soviet Union
initiated massive resupply efforts to their respective allies during the war, which led to a near-confrontation between the
two nuclear-armed superpowers
.
Ground hostilities commenced with a massive and successful
crossing of the Suez Canal by the Arab coalition
; Egyptian forces crossed the ceasefire lines with Israel and advanced virtually unopposed into the Sinai Peninsula. However, Israel mobilized most of its forces three days later and halted the Egyptian offensive, resulting in a military stalemate. The Syrians coordinated their attack on the Golan Heights to coincide with the Egyptian offensive and initially made threatening gains into Israeli-held territory. After three days of heavy fighting, Israeli forces had pushed the Syrians back to the pre-war ceasefire lines. The Israeli military then launched a four-day-long counter-offensive deep into Syria. Within a week, Israeli artillery began to shell the outskirts of the Syrian capital of
Damascus
, and Egyptian president
Anwar Sadat
began to worry about the deteriorating integrity of
Egypt's major ally
. Sadat believed that capturing two strategic mountain passes deeper within the Sinai Peninsula would make the Arab position stronger during post-war negotiations with Israel, and subsequently ordered Egyptian forces to mount another offensive against the Israelis, which was quickly repulsed. Israeli forces subsequently counter-attacked at the seam between the two Egyptian armies, crossed the Suez Canal into Egypt, and slowly began advancing southward and westward towards
Suez City
in over a week of heavy fighting that resulted in large casualties on both sides.
On October 22, an initial ceasefire brokered by the
United Nations
unravelled, with each side blaming the other for the breach. By October 24, the Israelis had improved their positions considerably and completed their encirclement of the
Egyptian Third Army
and Suez City, bringing them within 100 kilometres (62 mi) of the Egyptian capital of
Cairo
. This development led to dangerously heightened tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union—allied with Israel and with the Arab states, respectively—and a second ceasefire was imposed cooperatively on October 25 to officially end the war.
The Yom Kippur War had far-reaching implications; the Arab world had experienced humiliation in the lopsided rout of the Egyptian–Syrian–
Jordanian
alliance in the Third Arab–Israeli War of 1967, but felt psychologically vindicated by early successes in the 1973 conflict. The Israelis recognized that, despite impressive operational and tactical achievements on the battlefield, there was no guarantee that they would always dominate the Arab states militarily, as they had done consistently throughout the
First Arab–Israeli War
, the
Second Arab–Israeli War
and the Third Arab–Israeli War; these changes paved the way for the subsequent
Israeli–Palestinian peace process
. The
1978 Camp David Accords
that followed the war led to the return of the entire Sinai Peninsula to Egypt and the subsequent
1979 Egyptian–Israeli peace treaty
, which marked the first instance of an Arab country
recognizing Israel as a state
. Following the achievement of peace with Israel, Egypt continued its drift away from the Soviet Union and eventually left the
Soviet sphere of influence
entirely.
