The 2,659 fallen soldiers of the Yom Kippur War of 1973 were remembered in a public memorial ceremony at Mt. Herzl in Jerusalem this morning. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said that those who died allowed Israel to turn what began to look like defeat into shining victory. "Just as we emerged victorious then, so will we win the current war as well," he said. The Prime Minister noted that the main lesson of the Yom Kippur War is the necessity of responding whenever an agreement is violated. He said that if Israel had responded firmly and quickly to Egypt's ceasefire agreement violations in the summer of 1970, the Yom Kippur War may never have broken out.
