Forty-four years since the October war in
1973, Israel still occupies Palestinian
territories and Syrian Golan Heights.

It has been 44 years since the start of the 1973
War between Israel , Egypt and Syria.
The war, known to Israelis as the Yom Kippur
War, ushered in a new reality in the Arab world
and changed the face of US foreign policy
towards the Middle East .

Here's a breakdown of what happened:
Why did the three countries go to war?
The conditions that shaped the 1973 War were
established six years prior.
In 1967, Egypt , Jordan, Syria engaged in six
days of battle against Israel that resulted in the
Israeli occupation of what remained of historic
Palestine, as well as the Egyptian Sinai desert,
and the Golan Heights from Syria. The event
came to be known as the June War.
In a matter of six days, the Israeli army
delivered a huge setback to the forces of three
Arab countries and gained territory that was
three and a half times its size.

The territories that Israel occupied in 1967, shaded in Green.
Fast-forward six years, Egypt and Syria decided
to launch a two-front coordinated attack to
regain the territory they lost in 1967.
In the background, the politics of the Cold War
between the Soviets - who supplied the Arab
countries with weapons - and the US - which
backed Israel - played out and inflamed the war,
bringing the two blocs to the brink of military
conflict for the first time since the 1962 Cuban
Missile Crisis.

Under Egyptian and Syrian former presidents
Anwar Sadat and Hafez al-Assad, the two Arab
nations concluded a secret agreement in
January 1973 to unify their armies under one
command.

How did the war unfold?
To catch Israel off guard, the Egyptians and
Syrians decided to launch an attack on the Yom
Kippur religious holiday, the only day in the
year in which there are no radio or television
broadcasts, shops close and transportation shuts
down as part of religious observations.
The holiday fell on Saturday, October 6, 1973,
and just after 2pm, the Egyptian and Syrian
armies, with advanced Soviet weapons,
launched a two-front offensive on Israel, from
the north and the south.

Under "Operation Badr" the Egyptian military
forces managed to cross the Suez Canal and
capture the Bar Lev Line - a fortified sand wall
on the east bank of the canal.
This initial military success, which came to be
known to Egyptians as "the crossing," served as
a sign of victory after 25 years of defeat.
WATCH: The War in October (47:41)
On the northern front line, Syrian tanks
penetrated Israeli positions and swept across
the Golan Heights.

The Israeli losses were heavy, much of the
territory had been retrieved, and the course of
the war seemed to lay squarely within Arab
hands.

Within the first two days, the Israeli army
formulated a new strategy and went on the
offensive, deciding first to tackle the Syrians in
the north. As a result, units from the Iraqi,
Saudi and Jordanian armies joined the fight on
the Syrian front to face the counterattack.
Both the USSR and the Americans began
airlifting arms, including tanks and artillery, to
their allies as their stockpiles began to ran out.
On October 16, 10 days after the start of the
war, Israeli forces, under the command of Ariel
Sharon, managed to penetrate Egyptian and
Syrian defence lines and came within a
shocking distance from Cairo, the Egyptian
capital city.

The counterattack majorly turned the tide of the
war in favour of the Israelis, and the fighting
came to a stalemate.

On October 17, the Arabs decided to use a
different tactic - oil. The Arab oil-producing
countries, under the Organisation of Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC), decided to reduce
their oil production by five percent.
They pledged to "maintain the same rate of
reduction each month thereafter until the Israeli
forces are fully withdrawn from all Arab
territories occupied during the June 1967 War,
and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian
people are restored".

The Arab countries enforced an embargo on the
US, suspending oil supply.
The reduction in oil production and supply led
to major price hikes around the world, causing
the US to reassess its support for the war.
Diplomatic track

By the last week of October, the two sides were
ready and willing to accept a ceasefire deal.
Estimates put the number of Israeli soldiers
killed at 2,600 and 8,800 wounded, significantly
larger in proportion compared with the Israeli
population at the time, while Egypt was
reported to have lost 7,700 men and Syria some
3,500.

On October 22, the UN Security Council passed
Resolution 338, which called for a ceasefire and
reaffirmed Resolution 242 passed in 1967, which
called on Israel to withdraw from the territories
it occupied in 1967.

The US then began intensive diplomatic efforts
to secure disengagement agreements between
Israel, Syria and Egypt, and offered them
millions of dollars to reach such deals.
By May 1974, agreements were struck between
the three countries. Egypt and Syria regained a
portion of their territory and UN buffer zones
were established between them and Israel.
Aftermath of the war

Both the Arabs and Israel declared victory in
the war. The Arab countries managed to salvage
their dignity after repeated losses in the 1948,
1956 and 1967 wars with Israel.
Within four years, in 1977, Sadat was in
Jerusalem giving a speech of peace to the Israeli
parliament, the Knesset.

Then US President Jimmy Carter invited both
Sadat and former Israeli Prime Minister
Menachem Begin to Camp David, a country
retreat for the US president near Washington,
DC.

The three leaders engaged in secret discussions
over 13 days, leading to the signing of the Camp
David Accords on September 17, 1978, which
laid out conditions for an Egyptian-Israeli peace
treaty, and a framework for Israeli-Palestinian
peace using Resolution 242.

While the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty was
signed by March 1979 in Washington, DC, the
framework never materialised for several
reasons, although both sides laid blame on one
another. The proposal was vague on the subject
of Palestinian refugees , and the key issue - the
status of Jerusalem.


To the Palestinians, Egypt had placed its own
interests first and put the Palestinian cause on
the backburner.
Jordan also signed a peace treaty with Israel in
1992, making Egypt and Jordan the only two
countries to have normalised relations with
Israel, which continues to occupy the West
Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza, and a portion of the
Golan Heights to this day.

You can keep surviving,as long as you continue suffering.

What happened was simple.. Israel taught d Arab coalition Neva to mess with dem ever again.. Till date Egypt in particular will always regret getting involved

I think one major lesson is that advanced technologies and good leadership skills in military (used by the Israelis) will always defeat mass propaganda, nepotism and illiterate people (used by the Arabs) in any 21st century warfare.

kellytuns:
Moshe dayan

The one eyed General. The Arab Generals quaked in fear at the sound of his name. The fear of Moshe Dayan was the beginning of wisdom during those wars

That Sinai has no nexus with Egypt. Israel will always defeat any Muslim country or all the Muslims country put together.

we talking about Arab-isreali war and you are mentioning Muslims.whats is your problem.i don't know why some people often use the term Arab and Muslim interchangeably

I lived and worked in Egypt for a very long time with my multinational oil giant. The Egyptians have their own side of the story filled with lies. Truth was that after Israeli forces led by General Moshe Dayan and Ariel Sharon turned the battle against Arab forces, IDF obliterated Arab forces such that they were 40km into Cairo. Panic was everywhere as soldiers in d battlefield scampered or defected to save life. By the time they got to a city near Cairo called 6th October, truce was called by UN. Till date, Arabs fear Israeli. To safe face, after the 1979 peace acccord at camp David, some hardline brotherhood guys assasinated Anwar Sadat cos in d negotiations table Israel had upper hand. One of the agreement was to give Egypt back Sinai after Israel explored and found gas. But the price of gas sold to Israel should be ridiculously cheap.
Mohamed Morsi the elected Muslim Brotherhood guy that too over from Mubarak and field Marshall Tantawi wanted to pull out from the agreement but was toppled by Mubarak boys in power Al Sissi.
Arabs combined power can't attempt to fight Israeli forces adjudged to be the most advanced military in the Middle East.
