The Green 5 October is a national holiday celebrated in Egypt, commemorating the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. The holiday marks the anniversary of the start of the war, when Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal and launched a surprise attack against Israeli forces.

The war began on October 6, 1973, when the Egyptian Army launched a surprise attack against Israeli forces on the Sinai Peninsula. The attack was part of a larger operation to reclaim the Sinai territory that had been occupied by Israel since the 1967 Six Day War. The Egyptian forces were able to make significant gains in the first few days of the war, but the Israelis eventually pushed back and the war ended in a stalemate.

Since then, the Green 5 October has been celebrated in Egypt as a day of national pride and remembrance. It is a day of celebration for the courage and sacrifice of the Egyptian soldiers who fought in the war. The day is marked with parades, military displays, and other festivities throughout the country.

The Green 5 October is also a day of mourning for the lives lost in the war. The Egyptian government has set aside a portion of the holiday as a day of remembrance for those who died in the conflict. On this day, memorials and monuments are erected in honor of the fallen.

The Green 5 October is a reminder of the importance of peace and the need to work towards a lasting resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It is also a reminder of the courage and strength of the Egyptian people, who have endured decades of conflict and oppression. The Green 5 October is a day to celebrate the resilience and courage of the Egyptian people, and to remember those who have sacrificed their lives for the cause of peace.
