Who was fighting with israel in the 1973 war?
It is quite clear that the Syrian front in the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 was an Israeli victory. The Syrians made only minor gains in the early days of the war, but Israelis turned those around and a ceasefire was signed with Israeli tanks in sight of Damascus. There is some debate on whether the Egyptian front was an Israeli or Egyptian victory, but this debate does not carry to the Syrian front.
When did the Egyptian army arrive in Israel?
It depends on the war. The Egyptian Army has crossed into what is now Israel during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 (also known as the Israeli Independence War, the Nakba, and the second half of the Jewish-Arab Engagement). The Egyptian Army crossed into de jure Israel on the 15 May 1948 and quickly overran much of the Negev Desert. Israel eventually expelled Egypt from most of the former British Mandate of Palestine with the exception of the Gaza Strip by November 1948. As the Arab Israeli Wars of 1956 (also known as the Suez Crisis and the Tripartite War) and 1967 (also known as the Six Day War) were both started by Israeli advances into Egyptian territory based on the threat of oncoming war, the Egyptian army did not arrive in Israel during either conflict. The Egyptian Army also successfully crossed the border into the Israeli-Occupied Sinai Peninsula during the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 (also known as the Yom Kippur War, the October War, and the Ramadan War). The Egyptian Army crossed into Egyptian territory under legal Israeli Occupation (see UNSC Resolution 242) on 6 October 1973. Israel contained the Egyptian offensive to the east bank of the Suez Canal and Egyptian troops never marched on Israel proper. Since 1979, Egypt and Israel have not gone to war, but leading Israeli and Egyptian generals will visit each other to coordinate defenses against the Palestinian Terrorism the comes out of the Gaza Strip. Some of these meetings occur within Israeli territory, although their times and dates are relatively obscure and quiet for reasons of political sensitivity.

Who won the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 - Egypt or Israel?
General InformationIt is unclear who won the war on the Egyptian-Israeli front. The United States, Western Countries, and Israel typically hold it to be an Israeli victory. The Arab Countries, including Egypt, typically hold it to be an Egyptian victory.Considering that the reason that the Arabs declared war on Israel in 1973 was to conquer Israel or at least recover the lands lost in the Six-Day War of 1967, it can be considered a failure for the Egyptians and Syrians, as neither of those objectives was met, even partially. However, the Arabs did regain a sense of honor and prestige in that they caused a number of major Israeli defeats early in the war when they were caught off-guard. In Israel, these are seen as failures in the Israeli Intelligence Ministry. However, the War ended with a ceasefire restoring pre-bellum conditions, which is more-or-less of a stalemate and the early armistice negotiations, Israelis had to make the first moves of withdrawal from African Egyptian territory.Israeli PerspectiveAssuming that the Israeli perspective is held, the Israelis note that the Egyptians called the armistice as Israeli soldiers were advancing on Cairo and that the Egyptian Third Army was cutoff and dependent on Israeli goodwill for food and basic supplies. The Egyptians counter saying that they were holding the powerful Egyptian Third Army on the east bank of the Suez Canal, primed to strike. They called the ceasefire to spare both sides more violence.Egyptian PerspectiveAssuming that the Egyptian perspective is held, the Egyptians won the war by calling the armistice at the right time and holding the powerful Egyptian Third Army on the east bank of the Suez Canal, primed to strike. The Israelis counter saying that the armistice was called as Israeli soldiers were advancing on Cairo and that the Egyptian Third Army was cutoff and dependent on Israeli goodwill for food and basic supplies.Note on the Israeli-Syrian part of the warIn terms of the Syrian front, while there were small Syrian advances into the Golan, they were quickly turned back through strategic and decisive tank movements. There is no question that the Israelis won the Arab-Israeli War on the Syrian front, halting within 40 kilometers (25 miles) of the Syrian capital, Damascus.
