jun 8, 1973 - Yom Kippur war
Description:
Hoping to win back lost territory in the last Arab-Israeli war, Syria and Egypt lead a counter attack on Yom Kippur which was a surprise because that is one of the holiest days on the jewish calendar. The US step in to help Israel but it didn't go as planned because the Arabs apart of OPEC step a embargo on oil to the US. Egypt, Syria, and Israel later made a truce ending the war.Added to timeline:
