 Jewish holiday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Torah reading for the Sabbath has more parshiot (Torah readings) than Yom Kippur, the most of any Jewish holiday.
Yom Hazikaron is the day of remembrance in honor of Israeli veterans and fallen soldiers of the Wars of Israel.
Yom Yerushalayim marks the 1967 reunification of Jerusalem and The Temple Mount under Jewish rule during the Six Day War almost 1900 years after the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

 Egypt Israel Syria War 1973
Not until the morning of Yom Kippur (October 6), about six hours before the Arab offensive, were Israeli officials convinced that war was imminent; a mobilization of the reserves was then ordered.
The October 1973 War (known in Israel as the Yom Kippur War and in the Arab world as the Ramadan War) developed rapidly, and the coordinated Egyptian-Syrian offensive caught Israel by surprise.
In the early days of the war, the IDF suffered heavy losses as Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal and overran Israeli strongholds, while Syrians marched deep into the Golan Heights.

Incidentally, the number of Jewish refugees and their posessions greatly outnumbers any claims by Arab refugees of the 1948 war.
Not even militant Arab leaders or anti-Zionist historians could conceivably accept the view that the 1948-49 conflict was a war of Jewish origin.

1973: The Fourth Arab-Israeli War (The Yom Kippur War)
When IDF troops pulled out of Sinai after the 1956 Suez war, it was a condition of their withdrawal that Israeli shipping should be allowed to travel freely through the Gulf of Aqaba and the Straits of Tiran, which lead to the Red Sea and valuable commercial markets in the east and the southern hemisphere.

I have been reading the history of the modern Middle East for many years (from both the perspective of the Arabs and the Israelis) and I don't feel that the author left out significant details of the history especially considering the work was originally written in 1970 before the climactic 1973 Yom Kippur War.
And the Arabs were the ones demanding a war, not the Jews.
This is the story of an unusual war, between Arabs and Jews in the Levant in 1948.

 Ariel Sharon: Profile of an Unrepentant War Criminal
In 1972, at the urging of American organized crime figure and leading right-wing Zionist Meshulam Riklis, Sharon resigned from the IDF (he was recalled, briefly, to active duty during the 1973 Yom Kippur War) to run for the Knesset (parliament).
When Rabin was elected Prime Minister of Israel in 1992, the former Sharon ally in the war on the Palestinians had the courage to admit that his underlying assumptions were wrong, and would lead to the destruction of Israel.
Today, Sharon faces war crimes prosecution in court in Belgium for his role in the Sabra and Shatila massacres, as the result of a lawsuit filed on June 18, 2001 by 23 survivors of the attacks.

1982-84 War in Lebanon : because after many years of warfare depending almost exclusively on Armour the Israelis and their foes reverted to more infantry focused tactics - partially because the infantry anti-tank weapons had become quite effective and partly because of the nature of the terrain being fought over (urban and mountains).
1948-49 War of Independence : because the battles were small unit actions under strong leaders to gain local tactical advantage, plus I get to use a variety of WWII material in a mix-n-match kind of way.
