U.S. troops have never fought in any Israeli war, except during the first Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon when they "escorted" Israeli troops out of Lebanon The U.S. only began selling weapons to Israel after there victory in the Yom Kippur war. That war was fought with, mostly out of date, Russian or makeshift Israeli weapons.
There is no such thing as the Israeli-Pakistani War, as a result, there is no date when it could have started. If the question intends to ask about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, please see the Related Question below.
As the 1973 Israeli-Egyptian War began the Suez Canal divided each of the armies. Both nations had fortified their side of the canal.
Not directly. The Independence of Israel was the direct cause of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 (the Israeli Independence War), not the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 (the Yom Kippur War). The cause of the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 was for Egypt to reclaim the Sinai Peninsula and for the Syrians to reclaim the Golan Heights, both under legal Israeli Occupation pursuant to UNSC Resolution 242. However, if Israel had not achieved independence, it could not have occupied those territories and there would have been no Yom Kippur War, but this is probably not what the question was looking for.
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.
Yes. However, the neutral name for the war is actually the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. The Yom Kippur War is the Israeli name for war. The October War and the Ramadan War are Arab names for the war.
There were just north of 6,000 Israeli fatalities in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. Considering that the Israeli population at the time was roughly 600,000, this makes those fatalities around 1%. To put this in perspective, the only time the United States exceeded a 1% fatality percentage in any war it has ever fought was during the US Civil War because both sides are counted.
