What year did israel fight egypt?

Answer 11948, 1967, and 1973.Answer 2Egypt invaded Israel on several occasions, but the caveats have to be noted on some of those invasions.1948 - Egypt crossed militarily into territory that was supposed to be Israeli according UNGA Resolution 181 (II). -- No caveat here, this was an invasion of Israeli territory.1967 - Israel invaded Egyptian territory here in retaliation for cutting off Israeli access to the Red Sea and for amassing troops on the Israeli border. Even though Egypt did not invade Israel, the intent to do so was clear.1967-1970 - During the War of Attrition, Egypt sent missiles and small tactical groups into Israeli-Occupied Sinai Peninsula. Israel had the legal right to control the Sinai pending a formal peace treaty due to UNSC Resolution 242. However, these attacks were not in sovereign Israeli territory, but in occupied Egyptian territory.1973 - Similar to the War of Attrition, Egypt actively invaded the Israeli-Occupied Sinai Peninsula, to which Israel still had a legal right. However, Egyptian forces did not advance more than a quarter of the way into the Sinai Peninsula and did not enter sovereign Israeli territory.Since 1979, Egypt and Israel have been at peace.

The Suez Crisis began on October 29, 1956, when Israeli armed forces pushed into Egypt toward the Suez Canal after Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918-70) nationalized the canal, a valuable waterway that controlled two-thirds of the oil used by Europe. The Israelis were soon joined by French and British forces, which nearly brought the Soviet Union into the conflict and damaged their relationships with the United States. In the end, Egypt emerged victorious, and the British, French and Israeli governments withdrew their troops in late 1956 and early 1957. The event was a pivotal event among Cold War superpowers.
