Combined forces from Egypt and Syria attacked Israel with the aim of regaining territory lost to Israel in 1967. The attack took Israel by surprise. The initial attack took place on Yom Kippur (thus the name) and was specifically planned on that day since most of the country would be praying and fasting, as is traditional on Yom Kippur.
