Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – The missile attacks and sudden infiltration attacks launched by the Hamas movement against Israel, on Saturday, coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the October 6 War, a surprise attack launched by Israel’s Arab neighbors on October 6, 1973.
Israel calls the war the “Yom Kippur” war, as the attack began on Yom Kippur, which is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and Jews usually celebrate this day by fasting and repenting for their sins during the previous year.
The conflict began with Egypt and Syria sending forces in the hope that they could regain lands in the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula that Israel had previously captured in the Six-Day War in June 1967.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Sudan, Morocco, and Jordan helped Egypt and Syria with troops, financial aid, and weapons. The Soviet Union airlifted supplies to Arab fighters, while the United States provided aid to Israel.
The war ended with the Israeli forces approaching Damascus and besieging the entire Egyptian army.
It is noteworthy that the Israeli Minister of Defense said in a statement that the Hamas movement “committed a grave mistake this morning and launched a war against the State of Israel. The IDF forces are fighting the enemy everywhere. I call on all citizens of Israel to follow security instructions. The State of Israel will win this war.” “.
The Israeli army announced the launch of Operation Iron Swords against the Hamas movement, according to an Israeli army spokesman.
