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
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 militarily Egypt did ultimately succeed in forcing the
Israelis back to the negotiating table.
