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.
Israel did not take anything away from Egypt in the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. In the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, Israel took the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt.
