I HAVE THE STATS AND FACTS

Of course Israel and military doctrine consider '73 as a victory for Israel. Outgunned and outmanned ( as in virtually every war wiith the Arab states) Israelis nevertheless managed to rally and smash the invading Syrians and Egyptians. The story? Syria and Egypt (supported by armed forces of Iraq) attacked on Oct.6, 1973 - Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday (day of atonement) Most soldiers were praying in the synagogues at the time. The entire war lasted only 20 days. Initially the attack seemed successful, and it looked for a period of around 48 hours that the Arabs might win. However, on day 2 of the war, the Syrians had been pushed back towards the Golan heights. Week 2- Syrians were pushed entirely over the border(meaning they were out of the fight). The Israelis advanced towards the Suez Canal and cut the panicked and retreating Egyptian Army in half. The Egyptian Third Army was surrounded and cut off from reinforcements. This happened on Oct. 26. The UN stepped in and ended the war with a cease-fire at the request of the Egyptians to avoid another humiliating failure at the hands of the Israelis. Had the war continued, the Israelis would have turned the tables and overrun the Egyptians totally, pushing deep into Egyptian territory and possibly even making an assault (at least aerial) on Cairo, In this war, military doctrine clearly states that Israel was the victor. Outnumbered 3:1 in terms of men and 2:1 in terms of equipment, Israel nevertheless acheived 4 times as many kills than the Arabs in terms of aircraft and tanks . Israeli losses stand at around 2,400 dead, Arab losses at close to 15,000 dead. 102 Israeli planes were shot down, 450 Arab planes were shot down. Israel lost 600 tanks, the Arabs lost 2,400 tanks. Though considered at least in the first few days as Israel's toughest war, Israel ultimately was the victor in this Arab-Israeli war.
