October Days of War

Prime Minister, as you know the Rogers Plan for peace has failed. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat refuses reasonable terms, even after his defeat in the War of Attrition. Since then the Egyptian Army, along with the Syrians, has built up its' capability and planned a war to retake the Sinai Peninsula.

As you know, the Bar-Lev Line of fortifications lines occupies east bank of Suez. These are strong and backed by three armored brigades stationed deep within the Sinai. These can be further reinforced by their parent divisions, giving the IDF nine armored and mechanized brigades on hand, more than enough to defend the Sinai. We need 72 hours to mobilize in case of war.

Prime Minister, this is a war warning.

Unfortunately we over estimated the amount of time we would have to prepare.

Prime Minister, the Egyptians will attack in eight hours...
