The Torah's command (Leviticus ch.23) to observe Yom Kippur, including fasting and praying in synagogue, is kept by almost every Jewish Israeli. For that reason, Israel's attackers felt that they could overcome Israel through a surprise attack, since Israel would be nowhere near its usual level of alertness in security matters. It was thanks to God's help that the surprise Arab attack ended in an Israeli victory.
