Why did Egypt syria Jordan and Iraq attack israel on yom kippur in 1973?

Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq launched a surprise attack on Israel on Yom Kippur in 1973 to regain territory lost during the Six-Day War in 1967, particularly the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. The timing of the attack during the holiest day in the Jewish calendar was intended to catch Israel off guard. The coalition aimed to shift the balance of power in the region and to rally Arab support by demonstrating a united front against Israel. The conflict ultimately led to a prolonged war that resulted in significant casualties on both sides.
