Yom Kippur Yom Kippur is a Jewish Holy day where observant Jews fast from shortly before sundown on the eve of the holiday to about a half hour or so after the sun sets the following day. It's about a 25 hr fast.
Sunset is location-dependent, so the time is determined by exactly where you are and what the exact date is.
For Example Yom Kippur Sept 18th 2010:
In Israel, sunset was around 5:30 PM, the fast ended between 6 and 6:30 PM.
Yom Kippur War happened on 1973-10-25.
It was called the yom kippur war because the Arabs attacked on the Jewish Holiday called yom kippur
Yom Kippur is not a person or a country, it is a holiday. The Egyptians chose to invade Israel on Yom Kippur because of its solemnity. They expected the Israelis to be unprepared on Yom Kippur, which was indeed the case.

An Egyptian Victory. Ismailia was recaptured by the Egyptian side and that's it. Not in Syria though.

Yom Kipport occurs either at the end of Summer or the beginning of Fall, but there is no observance-related connection between Yom Kippur and any season.
No. Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the "10 Days of Awe". It's a period of reflection.
