49 years after the epic victory of the Glorious October War in 1973
Badr, the tenth of Ramadan, known in Syria as the October War
In Israel, Yom Kippur War (Yom Kippur)
It is the fourth war after the 1948 Palestine War and the 1956 Triple Aggression
Then the bitter defeat of the Arabs in 1967, which led to the occupation of the Egyptian Sinai, the Syrian Golan Heights, the Arab city of Jerusalem, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the West Bank, Gaza and the rest of Palestine
The Eternal Sixth of October War
Which the Arabs and their leaders fought in Egypt and Syria in coordination together in the joint command on the battle front
To determine the zero hour of the sudden and thunderbolt attack of the Israeli enemy armed with the latest American weapons and its satellites to spy on the movements of Arab armies and fleets facing Israel
The Arab brothers contributed to the war with blood, men, equipment and money, and the export of Arab oil to America and the West was prohibited
In a rare epic of Arab integration, unity and solidarity to erase the shame of defeat, destroy the myth of Israel's invincibility, and remove the effects of aggression.
The glory, dignity, and freedom of every Arab and Muslim rose from the roaring ocean to the rebellious Gulf
The impenetrable Haim Bar-Lev line and the fortified dam, 12 km wide, deep into the Sinai, and 170 km along the canal were stormed with artillery shelling, Egyptian air strikes and the penetration of the berm in 81 locations, using pumps as water cannons.
In a simple but genius idea for the late officer, the late engineer Baqi Zaki Al-Masry the Coptic
Inspired by the dredging work during the construction of the High Dam
Tens of thousands of brave Egyptian soldiers on mobile bridges with their armored vehicles and tanks succeeded in crossing the canal.
Or in rubber boats to the east bank
In a heroic epic carried out by the Corps of Engineers
The penetration is more than 20 kilometers deep in the Egyptian Sinai
The Syrian army also destroyed the Alon defensive line on the occupied Golan Heights
But the Syrians were less steadfast in maintaining their positions
Egypt also suffered from the Deversoir breach in Suez after two tank divisions led by Ariel Sharon crossed the Suez Canal in reverse and besieged the Second Army.
Then the ceasefire talks at Kilo 101
After their leaders admitted that they had lived through hell, and that the Egyptian army had shaken the ground under their feet, and thousands of them had fallen, killed, wounded, and captured for the first time in Israel's short history.
Because our army that believed most in God and in itself was different after a few years of training and arming, as a result of the missile wall, the fiercest tank battles in Sinai, the heroism of our land, air and naval forces, and the sacrifices of our righteous martyrs.
On the land of the moon and turquoise in Sinai
Among them are the martyr Pilot Atef Al-Sadat, brother of President Sadat, the brave decision-maker and the plan of deception and camouflage, the army leaders, Field Marshal Ahmed Ismail, Minister of Defense, Lieutenant-General Abdel-Ghani Al-Jamsi, Operations Commander, Lieutenant-General Saad Al-Shazly, Chief of Staff, and Lieutenant-General Mubarak, commander of the air strike.
And the late hero Ahmed Idris, who had the idea of ​​using Nubian words as a secret code between the Egyptian Air Force and Air Defense
Which confused the Israelis who were ignorant of it and thought it was a talisman from the language of the jinn!
One of the results of the war is the return of the Egyptian people in the cities of the Canal to it after they were displaced to internal governorates far from the front and the artillery bombardment since the 1967 war.
The most important thing is to break the nose and the myth of the indomitable Israel and change the balance of power in favor of Egypt
Ending the political future of Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Prime Minister Golda Meir after their humiliating defeat in the war
Then the reopening of the Suez Canal for international navigation on June 5, 1975, since its closure in 1967, which wasted Egypt's ship transit income.
Then start direct peace negotiations to liberate the Egyptian Sinai
After the victorious leader President Sadat's historic visit to Israel in the winter of 1977
With which he succeeded in regaining the entire land of Sinai
While the Syrians have failed to liberate the Golan Heights for half a century to date
After their rejection of the peace initiative with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and the rest of the Arab countries
They formed what was known at the time as the Front for Resilience and Confrontation, led by the President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, Hafez al-Assad, Syria, and the Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi.
All of them fell successively for revolutionary or external reasons
There is a firm political principle that there is no Islam without Syria
There is no war without the army of Egypt, the shield and the sword
As Sadat said in his victory speech before the Egyptian People's Assembly before his assassination by Khaled al-Islambouli and Aboud al-Zumar on October 6, 1981
During the military parade, historically known as the famous catwalk accident
In an unsuccessful attempt by the Jihad Organization, the Islamic Group and the Brotherhood to seize power in Egypt to establish a religious state similar to ISIS and its sisters
Or what they falsely and slanderously call the “myth” state of the Islamic Caliphate
The Jewish Feast of Yom Kippur turned into a painful memory for the Israelites after their crushing defeat of the Egyptians in just six hours.

Finally, after 43 years of the Camp David peace treaty between the two countries in 1979
Is it time to amend some of its unfair clauses after changing many facts on the Egyptian land and its open war on international terrorism?
And the growing strength of the Egyptian army until it became the ninth most powerful armies in the world today, superior to Israel, Turkey and Iran as well.
After diversifying its sources of armament eastward from Russia and China, and westward from America and Europe
Was the October War really the last of the Arab-Israeli wars?
Or is there a final watershed war on its fiftieth anniversary in 2023
