In the years immediately following Israel’s declaration of independence in 1948, several Arab states, including Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq, declared war on Israel. This conflict is commonly referred to as the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 or the First Arab-Israeli War.

The outcome of this war was a mixed one. Israel managed to survive and maintain its existence, and armistice agreements were signed with the Arab states, establishing the borders of Israel. While Israel did not decisively defeat all its adversaries in this war, it did secure its sovereignty.

In 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Yom Kippur holiday. The conflict was initially challenging for Israel, but it eventually repelled the attacks and made significant gains in both Egypt and Syria. A ceasefire was negotiated with the help of international mediation.
