No more than 4 Egyptian personnel (2 sentries, 2 radar operators) were ever confirmed killed in this raid, the Israelis had no proof (as they left) and Egyptian sources to this day are adamant on less than a dozen being killed.
That was a gut wrenching account. As always, your narration, graphics, and detailed storytelling kicked it in the A$$!!! You are the standard that everyone else strives to be.
Hats off to all those fallen defending their countries and people. We not fight for our glory but in a hope of peace for our beloved. May God bless all those who sacrificed their lives.
One of the most excellent channels on YT! Would you ever consider doing a video on the 100-Hour War or "Soccer War" between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969? Last dogfight between piston engine fighters I believe
Egyptian sources said the same as the video, but they not one thing there wasn't any fleeing soldiers for one reason that the only way out was by boats from suez Simply, they can't leave the island until boats come for them. The Egyptian reports said that they were fighting and no mention of fleeing
Egyptian forces never confirmed anything other that the site was blown up, no proof was given that there were even anywhere close to the 80 allegedly killed Egyptian personnel on the installation by either side, whereas the 6 killed and further dozen severely wounded Israelis were confirmed.
The fact remains the garrison was never confirmed to be anywhere near 80, let alone the number of killed being the ENTIRE 80 men. In fact the only confirmed individuals on the installation were the radar operators and two sentries.
@@120mmsmoothbore2That's complete nonsense. Israeli intelligence and operational reports, as well as Egyptian after action reports - indicate roughly the exact same story, especially regarding the garrison and it's composition. The entire garrison was not killed, nor did the video suggest as such. An overwhelming majority were, and the island completely obliterated.
@@sirjamessommer Roughly the same story is a very far stretch from the truth if you actually read both accounts. The garrison numbers were never confirmed and the Israelis claimed over 80 KIA.
@120mmsmoothbore2 Being the person who researched and wrote this script over the space of several months - both the IDFs accounts, per the Israeli State Archives (which we had independently translated from Hebrew, successive historical accounts), and the accounts from Egyptian forces hold the Islands garrison number around 80. Non-suggest any meaningful difference, 70 being the lowest. In regards to the number KIA - sources differ, IDF gives an estimate (based on number confirmed and subsequent artillery), the Egyptians a bias and untrue account, and independent histories a mixture. All, besides the Egyptian account hold the figure roughly in-excess of 50% KIA with the majority remaining in some way WIA, P2-3 roughly.)
@@sirjamessommer Show the Egyptian account stating the garrison was in the 70-80 range. I find it very funny that the Israeli estimates are accurate to you yet the Egyptian accounts are "a bias and untrue account" when their account also confirms the events, just not the number of killed or garrison size. It seems your own bias is showing. The event itself was the most embarrassing thing to Egypt, not the number of personnel lost. If they were to lie about something it would be the cause of the destruction itself.
I cant believe that there is no action blockbuster, best VFX winning film inspired by this operation. Its like it was made specifically to be turned into a movie.
@TheOperationsRoom, at timestamp 4:32 the video seemed to blacked out for 1 second. I do not know if this is intentional or RUclips's video policy to force viewers to blink.

Eyo Would You consider a video on the 1973 Israeli covert raid of Lebanon? This was caused by the 1972 Olympics attack aswell Very interesting, dingy boat and covert car assassinations missions Or an Israeli airfield raid around the 70s Supposedly; the current Prime Minister of Israel even took part in that one And a Palestinian raid on Israel around 1978 All of these events could go in a one video explaining the intricate back and forth Shadow Wars in the Holy Land from the 60s to the 80s All events with great cost of Human Life
Well, the name can be translated literally to "Wild Bear" (Dov - Bear; Bar - Wild)... Though both his given name, "Dov" and the surname "Bar" are quite common names in Israel
Incredible History Amazing examples of so many Concepts Cool main characters style events but this was Incredibly scary AA crews typically aren’t Able to put up with such Inhumane conditions; quite sad really And the scuba insertion is Incredibly dangerous It’s a miracle so few Died after such high casualties Such a horrendously haphazard plan to spend so many valuable Operators on Explicitly when there seem’s to be no Good enough reason presented to not just bomb and missile the island If so; then don’t even bother with the raid Just not worth it at all This is one of Israel’s worst SOF operations ever by theory alone
Its true that this happened as an egyptian from behura governance i wish you see the lies our media tells us about wars with isreal you would believe that we obletrated them
10:10 They kill egyptians attempting to flee? Noob here, what’s the Geneva status of such a situation? As long as they don’t surrender, they are legitimate targets?
Same deal as the Belgrano, retreat isn't surrender, they'd be considered legitimate combatants. Whether the israelis were specifically trying to kill them or mostly to persuade the Egyptians to keep running is a fair question
Egyptian sources said the same as the video, but there weren't any fleeing soldiers for one reason that the only way out was by boats from suez Simply the only way out to fight
Mostly valid and easy to get away with by War Crime standards My biggest complaint is that it’s not only Inhumane; ignorant Teenage conscripts aren’t exactly HVTs But leaving them the allure of the escape boats probably would’ve helped the Israeli’s towards the end Not much need to waste their expensive Ability on Disabling them
Why would the attacker ever be someone who has a great disadvantage. Or why would we get stories of the losing side when it’s hard to get accounts of what happened from dead men
@@steadyjumper3547 Because sometimes in life, one must fight from disadvantageous positions, like it or not. Even if you must fight the whole world to protected what you love like the Germans did. That's what makes a man.

They do own cinema and are extravagent liars.

Great video. Special forces stories are always amazing.
Fantastic presentation, thanks for the effort.
Babe wake up. OR uploaded again
More like, “Babe, go to sleep” (so I can watch in peace 😂)
You spelled "mommy" wrong
These comments are annoying asf
@@Crabonoeyep. The people that write them wake up beside farm animals.
Oh tar I’m up babes😂
17:05 yeah I’m not surprised by that report, those guys were shooting like stormtroopers, 15 kd ratio for the mission is insane

Operations Room my beloved has blessed us again
I appreciate your history breakdowns. Incredible, thank you!
Was just thinking about this channel, lo and behold they’ve just uploaded!
At 6.45 pm OR uplands a new video. Due to my elite video watching capabilities, I click on the video immediately!
Hats off to all those fallen defending their countries and people.
We not fight for our glory but in a hope of peace for our beloved.
May God bless all those who sacrificed their lives.
I can't get enough of your content. Good stuff man.
Really well done video, as usual! Happy Christmas in two days, everyone!
This channel needs ALL the love. Awesome work! 🧨
Israel is providing hollywood with non stop action film storylines.
One of the most excellent channels on YT!
Would you ever consider doing a video on the 100-Hour War or "Soccer War" between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969? Last dogfight between piston engine fighters I believe
That was a very ambitious plan, and nearly succeeded 100% of the plan
Damn this is insane. Great video
Ya Israel launching an offensive on another sovereign county…kinda like US
Great content as always
Great new addition of animations!
Difficult operation against a fortified site. Very good explanation and animation.
Thank you for the Christmas Present.
that's such a high quality video!
Great analysis...
Great storytelling !
great video, love these.
I'd never heard about this.
Great video! Your work is getting slicker and more professional with each new effort. 😎🔥🙌
Thanks!
Great vid
Great video, this is my favourite RUclips channel. Shame about the plane noise at the start, why has it gone?
The Israelis played the Jedis and the Egyptians played the Storm Troopers in this one
Hear! Hear!
Struck me as more of a chaos marines vs imperial guard setup. The Egyptians managed to fight back, but only with grenades and heavy weaponry.
Nice video!
great video

Egyptians put up a pretty good fight for being surprised and against the best of the IDF.

I never heard of this raid. Fascinating!

Very nice but how about a quick briefing on context and objectives? Or have I missed something?

Weird! I'm not seeing that on our raw render as uploaded, youtube must have screwed up the compression in some way 😬

This is the real history channel.
What an out of the book operation by the IDF, Wow!
Comment for the algorithm ❤
This is what the history channel used to be; now its UFOs and bigfoot...
Have they done the ' Bigfoot was a UFO!' yet?
can you please make videos about large scale battles like the battle of Kursk or invasion of Poland?
Conveniently the egyptians had defensive positions INSIDE the fortress.
Hardcore.

Eyo
Would You consider a video on the 1973 Israeli covert raid of Lebanon?
This was caused by the 1972 Olympics attack aswell
Very interesting, dingy boat and covert car assassinations missions
Or an Israeli airfield raid around the 70s
Supposedly; the current Prime Minister of Israel even took part in that one
And a Palestinian raid on Israel around 1978
All of these events could go in a one video explaining the intricate back and forth Shadow Wars in the Holy Land from the 60s to the 80s
All events with great cost of Human Life
And its all the juden's fault
Commanded by a guy named Dov(e) Bar? Now I want ice cream.
Or Soap!
@ you’re not wrong! But I think dove ice cream might taste a little better than dove soap 😂
Well, the name can be translated literally to "Wild Bear" (Dov - Bear; Bar - Wild)... Though both his given name, "Dov" and the surname "Bar" are quite common names in Israel
Incredible History
Amazing examples of so many Concepts
Cool main characters style events but this was Incredibly scary
AA crews typically aren’t Able to put up with such Inhumane conditions; quite sad really
And the scuba insertion is Incredibly dangerous
It’s a miracle so few Died after such high casualties
Such a horrendously haphazard plan to spend so many valuable Operators on
Explicitly when there seem’s to be no Good enough reason presented to not just bomb and missile the island
If so; then don’t even bother with the raid
Just not worth it at all
This is one of Israel’s worst SOF operations ever by theory alone
Love your videos!!
this seems kinda similar to Brecourt Manor
Great job, love to see more (military) storm recreations on the channel lately!
when will people learn, nothing is truly impenetrable. gigity
war was much better before cellphones
Like a Call of duty mission, or the other way around 😉
can u do videos about modern uk military engagements i wanna feel like my country is cool
They should do a movie about this
Wow! Even as an Israeli, I am suprised by the Israeli audacity
I’m your second subscriber!
The IDF are not to be messed with....
Honestly bro, you can create a RTS game ..
No
HOLY CRAP THIS WAS AWESOME!!
Its true that this happened as an egyptian from behura governance i wish you see the lies our media tells us about wars with isreal you would believe that we obletrated them
Operation baras please
Another comment to appease the algorithm.
Are you gonna do ukraine stuff?
Green island us still a wreck
current satellite shows the island abandoned, was this island attacked in the 1973 war? When was it abandoned, fascinating history here.
The radar installation and other intelligence related equipment were the primary reasons for it's targeting. Says as much in the video.
crazy spec ops!
10:10 They kill egyptians attempting to flee? Noob here, what’s the Geneva status of such a situation? As long as they don’t surrender, they are legitimate targets?
Same deal as the Belgrano, retreat isn't surrender, they'd be considered legitimate combatants.
Whether the israelis were specifically trying to kill them or mostly to persuade the Egyptians to keep running is a fair question
Egyptian sources said the same as the video, but there weren't any fleeing soldiers for one reason that the only way out was by boats from suez
Simply the only way out to fight
Mostly valid and easy to get away with by War Crime standards
My biggest complaint is that it’s not only Inhumane; ignorant Teenage conscripts aren’t exactly HVTs
But leaving them the allure of the escape boats probably would’ve helped the Israeli’s towards the end
Not much need to waste their expensive Ability on Disabling them
I'm sure this comment section will be filled with meaningful and civil discussions.
>Dov Bar
Ah, so that's why Captain MxTavish's callsign is "Soap."
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
The common pattern in these stories: "A much superior force attacked and defeated a much inferior force".
I mean the Israeli force was numerically inferior and tbh the Egyptian had a numerical and defender advantage yet faced more losses
they recount factual events… not like they can make up a story for entertainment
Why would the attacker ever be someone who has a great disadvantage. Or why would we get stories of the losing side when it’s hard to get accounts of what happened from dead men
@@Altafan21 factual my ass.

we are so back
Worth for 6 soldiers life? I’m not convinced
By any measure, yes. Taking out an entire fortified island, enabling air force operations? Well worth it from a military perspective.
Am Israel chai 🇮🇱
Have the viewer counts been down? It seems like there isn’t much yet it’s a popular channel.

How many times did you have to pronounce "shayetet" before making it past the youtube censoring algorithm?
When stuff like this happens. I find it silly when people talk about “Hollywood bs”
Yeah its just zionist bs
Food for the algorithm

Israel is a paper tiger
Israel has some issues...
Roaches
Sounds like an embelished after action report
And Israel says they are the "good guys" 😂😂😂😂
When they tried to steal more land.*
You mean Egypts attempt to conquer more of Israel in 67 after it conquered Gaza in 48?
The Israelis trying not to make the most insane, crazy, and outright bonkers secret military operations: (impossible)
