Even, General Jacob, and others, 'Eight Days: October 18–25, 1973', At the Decisive Point in the Sinai: Generalship in the Yom Kippur War (Lexington, KY , 2017; online edn, Kentucky Scholarship Online, 18 Jan. 2018), https://doi.org/10.5810/kentucky/9780813169552.003.0010, accessed 7 May 2025.
Abstract
By midday on October 17, the Egyptian army realized the extent of the presence of the IDF and began assembling armor and infantry on the western bank in an attempt to contain the bridgehead. By the original plan, the 421st Brigade was to seize the western bridgehead on Havit Road; however, due to the increased presence of Egyptian forces, the 421st Brigade withdrew slightly to regroup. On the morning of October 18, the 162nd Division planned to be at the bridgehead west of the canal, and then to break through to the west and southwest—a highly unrealistic goal, given the Southern Command’s progress in the previous two weeks.
