What was the name of the war that resulted when Arab nations attacked Israel in 1973?

The war that occurred in 1973 when Arab nations, primarily Egypt and Syria, launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur is known as the Yom Kippur War. This conflict was significant as it marked a major escalation in the Arab-Israeli conflict following the Six-Day War of 1967. The name "Yom Kippur War" reflects the timing of the attack, which coincided with this important religious observance, highlighting the element of surprise and the emotional impact on the Israeli population. Furthermore, this war played a crucial role in shifting the dynamics of peace negotiations in the region, ultimately leading to future treaties, particularly the Camp David Accords in 1978.
