London october the 5th 973. 00. Shortly after midnight the phone rings in the home of debbie asher of an israeli case officer handling and egyptian spy they simply called the source. It is the source himself his message was simple i need to meet the boss. Within minutes of his called television to wake his superior species a mere 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. But what makes it all the more important is the identity of the man delivering it. Off mol one was one of the best spot used in escanaba history he was the perfect spot it was not only cliff and face fish and thought he was also a stray crossed with the information it was a lot of people from nasa. With the right hand man of president saddam. So when marwan told samir that the following day at 1800 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 was 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 with 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 of how to israel which scored such a spectacular victory just 6 years before the 6 day war or miso to get into this situation has asked. If such a war was because of the spectacular venture of. Israel could avoid earth. 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. Was convinced there was nothing to worry about. The dots close relationship with the soviets guaranteed a supply of military hardware. But the israelis knew he had been able to obtain the latest generation of attack weapons. Without 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 continues says fawzia as there was a device they think feeling of a crisis and they feel there was tension there was disorder including the most thracians and the occupation of to have square and everyone wanted to fight back the regime was accused of failure and their far 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 israeli flag i cannot describe the feeling of my generation knows this feeling very well you know stretching for 167 kilometers with their israeli flags up are you in every kilometer to right before your eyes of all along the canal god i swear this week nearly turned the color of the suez canal black eye so is black and when i look towards the desert i saw with only grading from black to gray at the lower just so much depressing color this as a building. 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 believe. Now after that period that everybody and i. Can assure. Something more apparent. Then we had. For israel then to give up. A side. Would have probably been an impractical thing to achieve unfortunately sometimes it really does take a military offensive to change perceptions a negotiating scares. So it had to be. But sadat had a bold idea in mind. Could a limited rule 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 goal before they get the. Now we can cross the souse canal with infantry troops one of the stop but then 250 kilometers advancing with our air defenses to the west bank of the canal it has that kind of which gives us an anti aircraft umbrella for 15 kilometers east of the canal at that point i stop but even if the enemy withdraw its 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 its a close 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 bed nets out that way south of the said as he lets up last year we should not forget that half of the lawsuit 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 off the just a sliver of history so when half of the us that came to power in syria he started to absolve himself of the 967. 00 defeat and to prepare the syrian army for the next battle but when would that be ok no one knew them arctic and in it that meant that that was. 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 launch a surprise attack against israel. But 1st a setback unintentionally served to disguise the 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. 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 me put said father gary the super go to lets remove huge action army is getting stronger by constantly exercising but saw them raising the sounds 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 was that the 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 dotson phonation 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 in 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 both of. Them. To the ship of the but other mobilize the whole of almost the minister of defense for the diameter of. His finance while the following if his own been mobilized have a selves. Then egypt and syria may claim that it is is that intends to die. And they feel that they 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 could 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 there faded 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. Theyll get away say that again the chief of Staff Sergeant issued us with guidebooks it was an important document to every officer and soldier dictating beat us all but when he went cross that off and its number whos on your right and on your left in 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 of 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. Code than a frontiers 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 in the afternoon he was certain like everyone else but what would stop 6. In 2002. Exposed on mosques. And when i did eat it was. The Egyptian National hero because in more of your he was a double agent and in fact he was the jewel in the calm of the gibson deception plan before night the 7 its been. Up to over 600 hours war. 220. 00 jets at the egyptian at full scrawls the suez canal heading for the sinai. Their targets israels command centers and fields and antiaircraft batteries. Right up to have some secular for a if the busts even flying at the altitude of 5 kilometers i was looking at sinai an explosion here another there and the israeli antiaircraft missiles targeting our planes in our planes striking at their missile sites but you know what it was like a wedding with very lights lights flashing on an arc of a beautiful see me sign i looked almost joyful. A mile of the bizarre. The egyptian aircraft return to the f. Fields after destroying their targets for the loss of just 8 planes. But one of the 1st casualties was significant president said dads brother. Was 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 china. Within minutes of the 1st aerial attacks a massive alltel or a barrel which begins. With. The 3rd. 20 minutes off to 0 hour under cover of the continuing artillery fire the 1st wave of egyptian Ground Troops crossed the canal. 4000 men and 720 rafts. There in and have seen a shell today praise be to god we found ourselves on the other bank can you imagine if we climbed the sand wolf its one timmy to high sand would not just feel fault but the 20 the soldiers were climbing all over it 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 go across 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 the israeli armor. I had a 1000000 questions does not myside have enough destructive power but with the 1st missile and the 1st tank thats also everything for me. In this war was a new lesson emerging from the Egyptian Special forces an infantry that a single soldier can now take a. They previously might thank you 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 game to show us what they were. So then they notified me that theres a brigade on its way to be a leader and that the Brigade Commander or gabby i meet asks where is the battalion and i say 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 fit 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 passages 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
