When General Adan Arrived at 800 o'clock in the morning to handle the leadership of the northern sector of Suez Canal front line, I was into continuous battles to stop the Egyptians and to beat their forces that crossed the Canal and enclosed Bar-lev line fortresses.
These battles didn't calm down a single moment, It left its imprints on my forces and I lost many of my colleagues. Because of the violence of these battles, we didn't find any time to the grief of our colleagues who were killed.

2 O'clock at noon, I was stationed with my forces inside the area that general Adan defined it to me. General Adan's orders were arrived to attack towards Ferdan as a results of general Gonen's orders to start Counter-attack on Sinai front line.
I was in Al-Ferdan sector and my mission was determined to reach Al-Ferdan bridge and to occupy it, we used to call it Chizayon, the same name for the adjacent fortress which we had lost in the beginning of the war.
