The Yom Kippur War, Part Two: 10 - 14 October 1973

Part 2: 10 - 14 October 1973 (day 5 to day 9). As the Israel-Palestine region once again descends into war, we look at the Yom Kippur War: a surprise attack on Israel launched almost exactly 50 years ago. On 6 October 1973, a coalition of Arab armies led by Egypt and Syria launched a devastating surprise attack on Israel on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur. Launched with the aim of liberating territories occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967, the fighting soon brought about the intervention of both the United States and the Soviet Union. With both nuclear-armed superpowers supporting opposite sides in the conflict, the conflict quickly escalated from a localised clash into a Cold War flashpoint. The second part of this series sees Israeli forces advancing all the way to the edge of Damascus. Inside the city, the cost of war on the civilian population is already being felt. Meanwhile, protestors and counter-protestors make their voices heard on the streets of London. #Israel #Palestine #IsraelPalestineConflict #Egypt #Syria #GolanHeights #YomKippur To search the ITN Archive collection on Getty Images, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/footage... 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest ITN Archive videos!) -    / @itnarchive   🎥 Follow us on Twitter -   / itnarchive   🎥 Like us on Facebook -   / itnarchiveitnp   🎥 Check out our TikTok -   / itnarchive1955
