Egypt launches a surprise attack against Israel in October, '73, on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, occurring on the 10th day of Islamic holy month of Ramadan, with the initial objective being to seize a foothold on the eastern bank of the Suez Canal, and subsequently employ this strategic gain to negotiate the return of the rest of the Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsular. Fierce battle engagements, involving heavily armoured units --- Israeli 46-ton Soltam L-33 tanks, against Russian 44-ton T-34 tanks --- occur in Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsular and the Golan Heights, and in African Egypt and Israel.
Moshe Dayan warns Golda Meir that the 'end of the 'third Temple is nigh' -- this, in secondary coded format, signifies Israel's nuclear weapons. With her having discussed with the Cabinet, this penultimate motion for using nuclear arms, Meir authorises RED ALERT standby preparation of twelve 20-kiloton tactical nuclear weapons for F-4 Phantom aircraft at Tel Aviv Airbase, and Jericho Missiles at Sdot Micka Airbase -- these to be employed actively in what should come to be deemed as a last resort, in being absolutely necessary to stave off the apocalyptic finality of Israel 'lowering the curtain on her closing act'.
