Answer:
The Yom Kippur War, also known as Ramadan War, October War, the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, or Fourth Arab–Israeli War, was an armed conflict fought from 6 to 25 October 1973 between Israel and the coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria. majority of combat between two sides took place in the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights—both of which were occupied by Israel in 1967—with some fighting in African Egypt and northern Israel. Egypt's initial objective in war was to seize a foothold on the eastern bank of Suez Canal and subsequently leverage these gains to negotiate the return of rest of the Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula.
The war began on 6 October 1973, when Arab coalition jointly launched a surprise attack against Israel on Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, which had occurred during 10th of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan in that year Egyptian and Syrian forces crossed their corresponding ceasefire lines with Israel and invaded Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights, respectively. Following outbreak of hostilities, both the United States and Soviet Union initiated massive resupply efforts to their respective allies during the war, which led to a near-confrontation between two nuclear-armed superpowers.
