Which 1973 Arab-Israeli war is also called the Ramadan War?

The 1973 Arab-Israeli war also called the Ramadan War was the Yom Kippur War. It began on 6 October 1973, when Egypt and Syria launched a coordinated surprise attack against Israel during the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur and the Islamic month of Ramadan.

Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal into the Sinai Peninsula, while Syrian forces attacked Israeli positions on the Golan Heights. Both territories had been captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, making their recovery a central Arab objective.

The conflict is known by several names: the Yom Kippur War in Israel and much of the English-speaking world, the October War in Egypt and Syria, and the Ramadan War in much of the Arab world. Fighting formally ended with ceasefires on 22 and 25 October. The war helped set the stage for later diplomacy, including the 1978 Camp David Accords and Egypt-Israel peace treaty.
