Samir Farag on Bar Lev Line Prep
Lieutenant General Samir Farag, the military and strategic expert, stated that the earthen barrier, which was a major obstacle along the Bar Lev Line during the October 1973 War, had reached a height of about 20 meters due to the accumulation of materials from the Suez Canal excavation and area clearance efforts over the years. He revealed that crossing the canal required creating breaches in the barrier, which was achieved thanks to the idea of using water hoses proposed by Major General Bagi Zaki Youssef. This helped overcome one of the major hurdles facing the Egyptian forces. He explained that the plan to breach the Bar Lev Line, which was among many strategies prepared during the October War, was highly meticulous. Egypt secretly purchased water pumps from around six different countries, including some Arab nations, to create the gaps in the barrier. He also pointed out that Egypt devised strategies to conceal its military preparations to prevent the enemy from discovering that it was gearing up for an attack.
