Up next the war in october more news in such minutes hopefully ill see that. London october the 5th 1973. Shortly after midnight the phone rings in the home of debbie ashraf an israeli case officer handling an egyptian spy they simply called the source. And is the source himself his message is simple i need to meet the boss. Within minutes of his Court Television to wake his superior species and they are director of israels intelligence service. In just a few hours samir is heading for the british capital. Later and one of my sons in london safe houses samir meets the source. The information he hears is astonishing. What makes it all the more important is the identity of the man delivering it. Off of one was one of the best spot used in espionage history he was the perfect spot it was not only cliff and very of a fishermans but he was also straight crossed with the information he was a lot of people from nasa. With the right hand man of president sadat. So when marwan told samir that the following day at 800 hours egypt and syria would launch an attack on israel there was every reason to believe him. But was this a genuine leak from the very center of a gyptian power over is the source operating under orders giving information designed to deceive. They wont think of the someone like a shrub out of one will do nothing without alters from either the Egyptian Intelligence Service all the Political Leadership on the from president sadat himself. The. Thing with. 1400 hours saturday 6th of october 19th 73. 00. The holiest day in the jewish calendar young people the day of atonement. Egypt and syria launch an all out war against israel. The target liberating the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights territories occupied by israel 6 years earlier in the 6 day war. Israel is completely unprepared its regular army outnumbered its reservists not at present on either front. So the question is how did israel which scored such a spectacular victory just 6 years before the 6 day war permitted so to get into this situation was asked. If such a war was because of the spectacular venture of. Israel could have or. That lightning victory brought with it an illusion of invulnerability. Israel seemed secure behind a protective military cuts and. And despite intelligence warnings during september 973 of an upcoming arab attack the head of amman israels military intelligence general. Iraq was convinced there was nothing to worry about. Saddams close relationship with the soviets guaranteed a supply of military hardware. At the israelis knew he had been able to obtain the latest generation of attack weapons. Without than israels military might outweighed egypt in the balance. But ever since the humiliation of the 6 day war egyptians had to see their country fight back. As it can she says fawzia as there was a devastating feeling of a crisis and they feel there was tension there was disorder including the most traditions and the occupation of the harry of square and everyone wanted to fight back the regime was accused of failure and therefore so that was heavily criticized the. People in the streets agitated for the most powerful constituency of all egypts more than 1000000 strong army was desperate to show that it could fight and win against the israeli enemy they had to look at every day just 200 meters across the suez canal. And implicitly in the matter that the israeli flag that i cannot describe the feeling of my generation knows this feeling very well you know stretching for 167 kilometers with their israeli flags up high in every kilometer to right before your eyes of all along the canal that i swear sweet nearly turned the color of the suez canal black eye so is black and when i look towards the desert i so it only grading from black to gray a lot just so much depressing color this as a. With outdated weapons and lacking the ability to liberate the whole of sinai in a military operation in february 971. 00 less than 4 months after taking power sadat offered a peace deal if the israelis would withdraw from sinai. Israeli Prime Minister golda made rebuffed the offer. Why should i. Now after. That everybody and. Can assure. Something more tangible than we have. For israel then to give up. Side. Were probably a bad and impractical thing to achieve. Unfortunately sometimes it really does take a military offensive to change perceptions of negotiating. So it had to be. But sadat had a bold idea in mind. Could a limited war bring the attention of the world superpowers back to the region and jump start stalled peace initiatives. It was a plan developed by his chief of Staff Sergeant says lee. And another will be for the. Now and we can cross the souse canal with infantry troops one of the stop but then 250 kilometers advancing our air defenses to the west bank of the canal. Half of the planet a lot of which gives us an anti aircraft umbrella for 15 kilometers east of the canal and that point i stop even if the enemy withdraws because the enemy has one of 2 options either confront in which case i can inflict huge losses or stop 2 feet of those big losses at all and that the it across if. As he contemplated a limited war said that found an ally. Opposite as it had come to power in syria in 1970 through a coup de tat. He too had points to prove to his people. Theres a band thats out there and the voice of the said as he lights up last year we should not forget that half of the losses was the defense minister during the 1967 defeat and he was mainly held accountable because you cannot exonerate the defense minister for such a defeat to the syrian army that often set aside a facility so when half of the us a came to power in syria he started to absolve himself of the ny. 67. 00 defeat and to prepare the syrian army for the next battle but when would that be ok no one knew of them arctic and in that matter that i kept. In a series of meetings throughout the 1973 sadat and refined the war plan. It was given the code name bedded after the prophet muhammads fust victorious battle against the nonbelievers. When they met in syria in late august and all spacious date was chosen on the 6th of october the 10th day of ramadan the muslim holy month the jewish holy day of young capote egypt and syria would you want to surprise attack against israel. But 1st a setback in that unintentionally served to disguise that buildup and confuse the enemy. On the 13th of september israeli and syrian jets clashed over the mediterranean. The dogfight ended with the syrians losing 13 aircraft the israelis only won. The heart of fish. It could its the bear afterwards when the Syrian Forces started building up we thought that in their opinion we deserved some sort of retribution but that the build up was because of that the come up. As syrian troop concentrations in the golan grew to the south on the suez canal there were clear signs of something similar. But its a whole lot of meat that said father gary the super go to lets remove Egyptian Army i was getting stronger i constantly exercised with them i saw them raising the son from their side hires him even higher than ours and opening gaps and getting into the water measuring the journey carrying out all sorts of exercises creme forms the high command but they said dont worry how many of these are just standard Egyptian Army exercises of patience of obviously. Only 5 months previously the israelis had responded quickly to a similar build up. Theyd mobilize their reserves only to find that the egyptians had gone no further than the edge of the suez canal. This time on israels military intelligence was determined not to make the same costly mistake was. In it documented on published. Of number of feet it was a perfect description of the Egyptian Army ready to go to war the bottom line was we nevertheless believe there was no change in the egyptian estimate regarding the balance of forces with the i. D. F. And therefore the likelihood for war is low. But all that was about to change. That same night in london a chef marwan up the nasr son in law and said thats and for nations secretary would tell israels. Mogens chief that the attack would begin at 800 hours the next day. At 0800 hours on the 6th of october the Israeli Cabinet met an emergency session. Instead of attending young people prayers to ask forgiveness for their sins they had been summoned by the threat of imminent war. There was an argument of volkov. To the ship of the but out to mobilize the whole of almost the minister of defense for the time of. His finance well the following if you. Have a selves. Then egypt and syria may claim that it is that intends to die. And they feel that we have to make it clear that is that theyre not israel is attacking. In spite of dianes opposition at 0900 hours the cabinet decided on immediate mobilization of israeli reserves. Meanwhile on this holiest of holy days Israeli Soldiers on the front lines fasted and prayed. But their calm was to be interrupted with the news of the upcoming war. Ironically across the canal egyptian troops were given their 1st warning of war at exactly the same time. They were to break that a modern fast and prepare for battle. But the attack would come earlier than the israelis had been led to believe. The monopod to get at. The Battalion Commanders gathered us out he said break you fast he laughed but he distributed tea and dates and we broke our forest when we broke off fast but the fact that the dread there is no one who doesnt feel fear it. Said today at 2 pm and god willing to leave though we have vent and all we can go invade. Though get away see that again the chief of Staff Sergeant issued us with guide books it was an important document to every officer and soldier dictating beat us all but when he went across there after x. Number whose on your right and on your left the content of your duffel bag and everything it was wonderful that he kept the crew. In an operation they had rehearsed many times over the past 6 years. 5 egyptian infantry divisions would storm across the suez canal. Code named dove caught the Israeli Defense plan was based on the 15 strong points of the barlev line. Manned by just 450 men these foods would be supported by bringing 100 tanks of the Sinai Armored Division into position on the water line. Enough it was thought to foil any egyptian attempt to cross the canal. Dove caught would be triggered 2 hours before the start of the battle. And that would be at 6 pm they knew that from a show of murder one the source. Because then a friend yes yes it led primarily to situation were there were no tanks in the positions in the egyptian front because the commander of the some command gave an order not to move and tank to their positions before 4 oclock and often on he was certain like everyone else but what was stopped 6. In 2002. Exposed on mosques. And when i did eat it was. The Egyptian National hero because in my view he was a double agent and in fact he was the jewel in the calm of the egyptian deception plan before night the 7th pick. Up job a 6 foot 200. 00 wall. 220. 00 jets at the egyptian at full scrawls the suez canal heading for the sinai. Said targets israels command centers and fields and antiaircraft batteries. Brought up by some secular for a if the busts either flying at the altitude of 5 kilometers i was looking at sinai about an explosion here another there on the israeli antiaircraft missiles targeting our planes in our planes striking at their missile sites but you know what it was like a wedding or a fairy lights the lights flashing on an arc of a beautiful see me sign i looked almost joyful. But. The egyptian aircraft returned to the f. Fields after destroying their targets for the loss of just 8 planes. But one of the 1st casualties was significant president sadat sprog. Of the different author facade that was my classmate we never felt he was a president s brother or anything like that he looked like a movie star a landie along with fair hair green eyes so elegant and so manly and he talked his own piloting out and the knowledge but because of his competence not his brother because. Within minutes of the 1st aerial attacks a massive artillery barracks begins. With. The 3rd. 20 minutes off to 0 hour under cover of the continuing artillery fire the 1st wave of egyptian Ground Troops across the canal. 4000 men and 720 rafts. There in an f. C. In a shelter to praise be to god we found ourselves on the other bank can you imagine if we climbed the sand wolf its 1000. 00 metre high sand will not just feel fault but it will keep the soldiers who are climbing over that like butterflies to hide as a good photoshop to get in. With the warhol for now old dove caught the Israeli Defense plan is rushed into action. Tanks begin their move towards the canal from where theyve been dug in 5 kilometers to the east. When the egyptian infantry 1st got across the canal they knew how the israelis will respond they had. 83. Infantry portable Missile Systems that was. Proved very effective against israeli armor. I had a 1000000 questions does the myside have enough destructive power but with the 1st missile and the 1st tank thats also everything for me. In this war new lesson emerging from the Egyptian Special forces an infantry that a single soldier can now take a. The previous leader of the mighty bank it was a lesson that was not just all over the wood but that its a good. 3 hours into the war 45 egyptian infantry battalions formed 32000 men have crossed the canal. The forwards of the barlev line have been taken besieged most of the israeli tanks have been destroyed. Has failed. The softness off iowa. From a. At the end of the day he had just to tell us left of my battalion along with my armored personnel carrier. Was my dinner shares. So then they notified me that theres a brigade on its way to be and that the Brigade Commander or gabby i mean asks where is the battalion and i say therefore this is the battalion had laugh though he knows me and knows that i joke around sometimes for permits and i said to him no gabby this is the battalion. Or if you love every book. After the 1st wave of egyptian infantry has made the Canal Crossing 35. 00 battalions of engineers follow. Additon once you figure look at. The wall of the engineers crossed with the 2nd wave they put the palms together fix the hoses and started to point them at the sand wall and started falling down. This was a big breakthrough as opening up the hostages who enable us to operate the ferries a move some call it across especially the battalions artillery and the weapons needed to stop any counterattack by the enemy on the eastern side of the elements in the love that. Live. The next phase of the engine is work was to erect pontoon bridges for the tanks and heavy weapons. Half. By sunrise on day 2 it looked as if the wall had been an unequivocal success for egypts armed fo
