Haganah or Palmach ?

[edit]

I am quite sure that it should have been garisoned with Palmach units... I have no time to check right now. If someones knows... Pluto2012 (talk) 06:06, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In response to : "Egyptians were stalled in their advance and took heavy losses, while losses sustained by the defenders were light. Only after a siege, Israelis temporarily retreated"
Was the target of Ben Gurion and of General Staff to keep the settlement or to evacuate this.
As far as I know, Ben Gurion had ordered all settlements should be kept.
In any case, these analysis are personnal analysis so sources should be used. The current formulation is factual and better than stating it was an Israeli victory. Pluto2012 (talk) 17:23, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictions

[edit]

"While Egyptian assaults were unsuccessful, their siege led to the evacuation of the kibbutz by its members on July 8, 1948, after resupply attempts through the ground and air by the Israeli Negev Brigade and air force were insufficient or failed entirely. The Egyptian army stormed it the next day only to find it empty."

In other words, the Egyptian assaults were successful. Supply lines are an essential part of military activity, and if the Israeli supply lines failed then the Israeli side lost. This attempt to portray a loss as a victory is absurd. Zerotalk 13:27, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
