Morphology
Arab-Israeli + war
The meaning is directly compositional: 'Arab-Israeli' denotes involvement of Arabs and Israelis and 'war' denotes an armed conflict, so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer it refers to a conflict between Arab states and Israel. Although the label can refer to different historical conflicts, the underlying semantic relation is transparent and follows a common cross-linguistic pattern of party1-party2 + war.
Etymology
Arab-Israeli War refers to a war between Arab countries and Israel. A helpful memory image for the 1973 war is that it began in October on the Jewish holy day Yom Kippur, so many call it the 'Yom Kippur War'; the name Arab-Israeli War shows who was fighting in that October 1973 conflict.
