1. Arab-Israeli War Marker

Inscription. On October 6, 1973, during the Muslim month of Ramadan and on the Jewish Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), a coalition of Arab states, led by Egypt and Syria, attacked Israel. The stated purpose was to recover the Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights, which Israel had captured in the Six Day War of 1967. After serious initial setbacks, Israel successfully counterattacked, retaking territory and threatening Damascus and Suez. Agreeing to a cease-fire on October 25, the parties realized the need for an agreement to bring about a more lasting peace.
