Yom Kippur War

On Yom Kippur 1973, Egypt and Syria attacked together to win back land lost in 1967. Egyptian troops crossed the Suez Canal and anti-tank missiles took a heavy toll on Israeli armour, but Israel recovered, crossed the canal itself and pushed toward Damascus before a ceasefire.

Outcome: Israeli military victory after early Arab gains. The war led to the Camp David Accords and the return of Sinai to Egypt.
