As it became clear the United Nations would soon impose a cease fire in the Yom Kippur War, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan decided the Observation Post atop Mount Hermon should be in Israel's control when the peacekeeping force arrived. The Israeli OP was lost on the first day of the war when it was overrun by Syrian commandos. The Golani Brigade was given the mission and it attacked with infantry climbing the mountain on the right flank, an armored column in the center an armored reconnaissance vehicles on the left flank. On the eve of the attack, four A-4Es from Ramat David Air Force Base attempted to clear out Syrian ambush sites on the road up to the OP.

When three IDF armored divisions crossed the Suez Canal, the ground forces also knocked the SAM sites in the area. This allowed the IAF, for the first time in the Sinai campaign, to conduct Close Air Support missions without worries about SAMs. A-4Es flew in front of Israeli tanks pushing west from the canal. They found dug-in Egyptian armor fortifications.

The Soviet-provided SAMs were making it very dangerous for the IAF to provide Close Air Support to IDF armored units about to attack west across the Suez Canal. Al Qantara, a city that straddled the canal was a major site of Egyptian SAM units. A-4Es were sent in to destroy them.

By the midpoint of the Yom Kippur war, IDF forces were pushing hard toward Damascus. Iraq and Jordan sent armored forces to beef up the Syrian defense of their capital. Israeli intelligence identified an Iraqi armored column moving from Baghdad to Damascus. At night, Israeli paratroopers helicoptered in to blow up a bridge and block the Iraqi tanks and artillery. Then A-4Es were sent on a night mission to attack the stalled convoy.

In the first two days of the Yom Kippur war, the IAF lost 10 percent of its A-4Es to state-of-the art SAMs and AAA provided by the Soviets. One IAF pilot believed he could avoid the Syrian air defenses by flying low through a river canyon along the Syria-Jordan border. He was one of only two A-4E pilots to hit his assigned target on Day 2 of the war.
