History of the Battle of Sinai Peninsula

1956 In July, Egyptian President Nasser made a speech in Alexandria, announcing that the Suez Canal Company with British and French capital would be nationalized and the Aswan Dam would be built with the canal income. Britain and France were very angry, because Egypt's move would directly affect their economic interests, so they decided to intervene in Egypt.

The Egyptian's decision to take back the Suez Canal Company, the deterioration of the relationship between Britain and France and Egypt, can be said to have nothing to do with Israel, but Israel was determined to provoke a war between Britain and France and Egypt, and the British and French troops contained the Egyptian army, so that Israel benefited from it, and its plan to occupy Sinai Peninsula was realized. Israel's war minister and foreign minister flew to Britain and France in early and late September of the same year to discuss with them the formulation of military action against Egypt. Britain and France saw that Israel's "active attack" was beneficial to them and provided Israel with a large number of military equipment respectively.

France not only provided Israel with more than 30 advanced "mysterious" jet fighters, but also secretly trained air force pilots and ground crew for Israel. It is particularly noteworthy that the performance of the "mysterious" jet fighter was in the leading position in the world at that time, which shows that the French did not hesitate to spend money. As a result, the combat capability of the Israeli Air Force has rapidly increased. 1956101At 4 o'clock on the morning of October 29th, under the command of Colonel Sharon, Israel's 202nd Parachute Brigade suddenly crossed the border between Egypt and Israel and entered the Sinai Peninsula. At midnight that day, the Fourth Infantry Brigade of the Israeli army broke into the Sinai Peninsula from the area south of Nizana.

In the face of Israeli aggression, the Egyptian army rose up to resist, which seriously hindered Israel's attack. The armies of Egypt and Israel have long been at odds in the Sinai Peninsula. Seeing that Britain and France were slow to send troops, Israel thought that the two countries had suddenly changed their minds, and seeing that the resistance of the Egyptian army was very tenacious, fearing that it would be difficult to win for a while and fall into a long-term war, it ordered the Israeli army to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula.

Since 10 year1October 29th, when the Israeli army invaded Sinai Peninsula, Britain and France intervened hypocritically. After being rejected by the Egyptian side, Britain and France showed fierce faces. 3 101At 7 o'clock on October 29, a large number of combat aircraft were dispatched to bomb several important airports in Egypt, such as Cairo, Alexandria and Suez.
