The Yom Kippur war of 1973 was mounted by Egypt and Syria to wrest the Sinai and the Golan Heights back from Israel. After some initial successes by Egypt , Israel crossed the Suez Canal aand threatened to advance to Cairo. But Sadat (unlike Nasser) was a shrewd man and had made his point and made peace with Israel.
Moshe Dayan (the one eyed general) was the hero of the 1967 war between Israel and Egypt (& Jordan and Syria) and was responsible for the victories in the Sinai peninsula.
