Almost every war between Egypt and Israel has been fought in or using the Sinai Peninsula. Egypt has used the Sinai Peninsula as a launching point for its invasion of Israel in 1948 and in preparations for the likely invasion of Israel in 1967. Israel conquered the Sinai and was forced to relinquish it in 1956. In 1973, the Sinai Peninsula (under Israeli Occupation) served as a strong buffer to the Egyptian surprise invasion attempt.
The Egyptians claim that they won the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. According to the Egyptians, Israelis suffered defeats early in the war when they were caught off-guard.

Israelis counter that Egypt lost the Yom Kippur War because they failed to secure their primary objective, the Sinai Peninsula, which remained in Israeli hands after hostilities had ceased.
