Ukraine's invasion of Russia's Kursk region has dramatically changed the dynamics of the war between the two countries, emboldening Ukrainian troops and citizens. But as The Hill writes, the strategy is not new — Israel made a similar move in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

In that war, Israel was initially on the losing side, caught off guard by the invasion of both Syria and Egypt. Within days, Israel began to recover and stopped the attackers' advance, but a more decisive step was needed to turn the tide of the war. Thus, the strategy of crossing the Suez Canal and taking the battle to Egypt was conceived.

The Israelis invaded Egypt, isolated the Egyptian Third Army, and closed in on Suez, with the Egyptian capital Cairo in their sights. This changed the course of the war, as the two superpowers backing each country - the Soviet Union backing the Egyptians and the United States backing the Israelis - both became concerned about being drawn into the conflict, and calls for a truce intensified.

As The Hill writes, the Ukrainian offensive in Russia is reminiscent of the early successes achieved by the Israelis.

"Moscow is only 300 miles from these front lines. Although few think the Russian capital will actually be in danger, its proximity to the fighting is disconcerting. It may be enough to shift the course of the war by taking the fight deeper into Russia, as the Israelis did by crossing the Suez Canal and threatening the heart of the Egyptian army and its major cities," the article says.

At the same time, the newspaper writes, Putin is in a different position than Anwar Sadat, the leader of Egypt at the time. For Egypt and Syria, a negotiated peace made sense because they had achieved some success, dealing a critical blow to Israel's self-esteem and bleeding its army dry.

"But for Putin, such a peace could be his undoing. If he is pushed to the negotiating table by a successful Ukrainian offensive that seizes Russian territory that Moscow cannot retake, it would undermine Putin's air of invincibility, an image already battered by his protracted war against Ukraine," The Hill writes.
