The
Yom Kippur War 1973 (2), The Sinai by Simon Dunstan
Israel's victory in the 1967 'Six Day War' sowed the seeds of the
1973 Yom Kippur War. At 1400hrs on 6 October 1973, the Egyptian army
launched an assault crossing of the Suez Canal. The carefully co-ordinated
attack achieved complete tactical surprise. The sand embankments of
the Israeli Bar-Lev Line were breached and an Israeli counterattack thrown
back with heavy losses. In the second part of his two volume
analysis of the Yom Kippur War, Simon Dunstan details the fighting in the
Sinai , culminating in Operation Gazelle, the Israeli counterattack across
the Suez Canal. Although defeated miltarily, Egypt did ultimately
succeed in forcing the Israelis back to the negotiating table.
