The Arab country you are referring to is Syria. During the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Syria joined Egypt in a coordinated attack against Israel. The conflict was aimed at regaining territory lost by Arab nations during the 1967 Six-Day War. While they achieved some initial success, the war ultimately resulted in a military stalemate, and Israel retained control over the territories in question. Syria also supported the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and its efforts against Israel.
