Assault on Sharm el Sheikh - Campaign Series: Middle East 1948 -1985

[Sharm el Sheikh, Sinai, Egypt]: [H2H][HIS][CSL]: In July 1956 Nasser closed the Strait of Tiran to Israeli shipping, placing an artillery battery at Ras Al-Nasrani and a supporting infantry brigade in Sharm el Sheik, a small fishing town at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. The Israeli 9th Infantry Brigade was tasked with securing the entrance to the strait, embarking on a long journey through some of the roughest terrain. The two infantry battalions, equipped with halftracks and newly acquired 6x6 trucks from France, fought the terrain as it drove south down the coast, not running into sporadic resistance until Wadi Kîd. Advancing to Ras Al-Nasrani and finding it empty, with the naval guns spiked, the 9th Infantry Brigade continued south to Sharm el Sheikh, attempting to assault the "city" during the early morning hours.
