About the Yom Kippur War
The Yom Kippur War began with a surprise attack by Egyptian and Syrian forces in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. It ended in a military victory for the Israelis, who aroused anger in some quarters by continuing to advance after the cease-fire. After a mission by an emergency UN force, fighting stopped on both sides of the Arab-Israeli border on 26 October 1973, restoring calm after 20 days of combat in which over 10 000 people lost their lives.
