Egypt got Sinai because it signed peace with Israel.So, where should people get the true story? Both sides exagerate, and even Syria annually celebrates 1973 "victory" although it was a very clear defeat to Syrian Army. I believe that neither Egypt nor Israel were defeated in that war in fighting terms but wars get measured by achieving its goals and Egypt got what they want while Israel got nothing but lost Sinai.
Syria did not get Golan because it did not sign peace with Israel.
Very simple.
I can name u every single Israeli soldier died in war. One by one.Usually, "modern" Western/Zionist official casualty figures need to be multiplied by 10 to 12 times, to arrive at a safe estimate of the actual number of casualties.
2,222 Israeli soldiers died (including crashes, friendly fire, died from injuries etc) from 6 oct to 24 oct 1973. Another 305 soldiers died from 24 Oct 1973 to 12th February 1974.
