THE YOM KIPPUR WAR : THE ALGERIAN CONTRIBUTION

lets say that the war ended with egypt keeping a foothold along the entire suez canal isreal strategy before the war was that any big assault would be halted in the barliv line for hours days maybe until they can call reserves and react if there is nothing but desert and our air defense made it to the other shore we have the numbers to rebuild the army and start the war from an even a better position than what we had in 73 or start a war of attrition with no sea to make it difficult to enter or exit and lets see who can take losses more it was the wise thing to do from both sides
True...That was the goal of the Bar Lev line, to hold off any attack until reinforcement arrives.. In fact even after the line was overran, the IDF used the vast expanse of the Sinai as a buffer and concentrated on pushing back the Syrian Forces that were an immediate threat to their existence...

yes the syrian attack was very heroic but until now i dont understand what was their goal to retake the golan or to push into isreal itself ? and if they had the tools to accomplish what they started .in egypt we knew what we can do and we cant do with the kind of weapons that we have in any war except guerrilla tactics you must defend your army from hostile air force the isrealis knew that they cant match their enemies on the ground unless they have air superiority

It is still a mystery to all of us...Syria retook the Golan, and instead of pushing further into Israel, they stopped and give enough time to the IDF to reorganize.
