History

Historical Context

The Yom Kippur War, fought from October 6 to 25, 1973, saw Israel confront a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria. The conflict resulted in over 2,500 Israeli deaths and shifted regional dynamics, leading to the 1978 Camp David Accords. Today, ongoing peace talks in Egypt reflect the enduring struggle for stability following this pivotal war.
