∙ 10y agoNo-one really knows why the war was fought, however this information is still valid. "The war began when the Arab coalition launched a joint surprise attack on Israeli positions in the Israeili occupied territories on Yom Kippur" (See source in Related Links below).
Also see the Related Question. (The Arab-Israeli War of 1973 is the neutral term for the Yom Kippur War.)

∙ 11y agoYom Kippur is a holiday. It was not "at war" with anyone. Egyptians invaded Israel on the day of Yom Kippur in an attempt to regain the lands that they had embarrassingly lost to Israel in the Six-Day War.
