Arab Army's Role in 1973 War
The Jordanian Arab Army participated in the October War of 1973 as a milestone in the history of Arab resistance and the wars with Israel. The 40th Armored Brigade was stationed on the Syrian front, where it fiercely countered the Israeli attack along the Daraa-Damascus axis, leading to the Israeli forces retreating and occupying key positions. The participation resulted in 23 martyrs and 50 wounded, and destroyed 25 tanks and vehicles. Despite its limited size, Jordanian involvement helped delay the Israeli advance, protect the Syrian front, and frustrate their attempts to encircle both the Syrian and Egyptian fronts, contributing to the Arab victory over Israel.
