Burullus Battle at 70
November 4, 2026, marks the 70th anniversary of the Naval Battle of El-Burullus, fought in 1956 off the coast of Borg El-Burullus during the Tripartite Aggression. Egyptian torpedo boats, commanded by Jalal al-Din al-Dusuqi, engaged vessels of the enemy fleet and damaged the French battleship *Jean Bart* and a British destroyer. The battle claimed the lives of several men, including the Syrian officer Jules Jammal. Fishermen from El-Burullus helped rescue the wounded and recover the fallen, commemorating a heroic struggle in which the sacrifices of the navy were intertwined with those of the town’s residents. Since the 1960s, November 4 has been the national holiday of Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, which marks the anniversary each year with celebrations and ceremonies at the martyrs’ memorial.
