There is a question of whether or not Israelis actually won the Yom Kippur War. Those that say that it did, show that Egypt lost the Yom Kippur War because they failed to secure their primary objective, the Sinai Peninsula, which remained in Israeli hands after hostilities had ceased. Egyptians counter that Israelis suffered defeats early in the war when they were caught off-guard. Also, in the early armistice negotiations, Israelis had to make the first moves of withdrawal from African Egyptian territory.
There is no question that the Israelis won the Arab-Israeli War on the Syrian front, halting within 40 kilometers (25 miles) of the Syrian capital, Damascus.
