		The Sinai Campaign of 1956 was characterized by mobile, armored warfare.
		Since the Sinai Campaign, the land war between Israel and the surrounding Arab nations has become a war of highly mobile and armored formations.
		Prior to the Sinai Campaign Egypt received, within the framework of the "Czechoslovakian Arms Deal", 300 Soviet tanks and tank destroyers, including the Stalin-3 and T-34 tanks and SU-100 tank destroyers.

	Chapter 6
		The Sinai and Palestine theatres witnessed a style of modern warfare that was very different from that of the Western Front, one characterised by highly mobile mounted operations rather than static set piece offensives directed at trench lines, except for a period at Gaza.
		A feature of the campaign in the Sinai and Palestine was the use of all arms in combination, and the cooperation between them was of a high standard.
		The Palestine campaign stands as an example of the role of manoeuvre and mobility and as such differs from of the popular perception of the Great War that is drawn from images of the Western Front.

		The Sinai campaign was fought by a principally British and dominion force, against Turkish forces operating from Palestine, for the security of the Suez Canal.
		There were only a small number of routes across the Sinai Peninsula from Palestine to Egypt that the Turks could take due to the arid terrain and the availability of wells, which restricted the main operations to within 60 kilometres of the Mediterranean coast.
		The end of the Gallipoli campaign in December 1915, dramatically altered the military situation on the Sinai peninsula.

		According to this interpretation, then, Israeli policy decisions, such as large-scale reprisal raids and the Sinai Campaign itself are better viewed as choices that were to an extent pre-determined by cultural and institutional norms and ideologies rather than strategic calculations based on rational assessments of "systemic" variables.
		Jack Levy and Joseph Grochal, in a more recent and thorough examination of the Sinai Campaign argue in depth that the strategic imbalance caused by the Czech arms deal with Egypt was crucial in motivating the Israeli leadership to plan for a preventive war.
		As argued in the earlier discussion of the Sinai Campaign, the representation of wars in case-study compilations is a particularly important place to begin analyzing how international relations views such events inasmuch as such compilations are widely cited for use in other studies.

		The Arab campaign of violence-was resumed in 1959 … Across the various Armistice lines (except that with Lebanon), Israel was under constant attack: from Jordan-held territory in the heart of western Palestine, from the Gaza plain and Sinai, and from the Golan Heights to the northeast.
		Ostensibly, it was common knowledge that at a moment of destructive exhilaration the Arab states might be capable of united action, forcing a war on three fronts against an Israel outmanned, outgunned, and outnumbered in planes by nearly three to one and in tanks by more than three to one.
		The Arabs’ war against Israel in the years between 1949 and 1967 was accompanied and dramatized by an incessant diplomatic offensive and a campaign of propaganda that grew progressively in volume and scope.

		On Monday, 29 October 1956, Israeli paratroopers were dropped near the Mitla Pass in Sinai.
		These units, organized some two years ago by the Egyptian Government and forming part of the Egyptian regular army, were intended to spread terror in Israel by acts of indiscriminate murder, mining, and sabotage.
		Israel seeks a relationship with the people of Egypt based upon mutual respect of rights, free from the threat of attack on its citizens, blockade or interference with its communications whether by land or sea.

		Those who have been misled to believe that Israel's current military campaign can be categorized as an "offensive" are ignorant of the facts, particularly as they pertain to the history of the region.
		In May of 1967, Egypt again moved troops into the Sinai desert, re-imposed the blockade of the Straits of Tiran and entered into a military alliance with Jordan.
		As a result, the northern villages were freed from 19 years of recurrent Syrian shelling, the passage of Israeli and Israel-bound shipping through the Straits of Tiran was ensured, and Jerusalem, which had been divided under Israeli and Jordanian rule since 1949, was reunified under Israel's authority.

		The Sinai Campaign temporarily ended the activities of the fedayeen; however, they were renewed a few years later by a loosely knit group of terrorist organizations that became know as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
		For Britain and France, who allied with Israel in the Sinai Campaign, the war was about the Suez Canal.
		Israel opted to participate in the plans against Egypt to gain favor in the sight of western nations because the small developing nation of Israel was in constant fear of being overrun by Arab nations.

		In the course of an eight-day campaign, the IDF captured the Gaza Strip and the entire Sinai peninsula, halting 10 miles (16 km.) east of the Suez Canal.
		When Egypt again moved large numbers of troops into the Sinai desert (May 1967), ordered the UN peacekeeping forces (deployed since 1957) out of the area, reimposed the blockade of the Straits of Tiran and entered into a military alliance with Jordan, Israel found itself faced by hostile Arab armies on all fronts.
		As Egypt had violated the arrangements agreed upon following the 1956 Sinai Campaign, Israel invoked its inherent right of self-defense, launching a preemptive strike (5 June 1967) against Egypt in the south, followed by a counterattack against Jordan in the east and the routing of Syrian forces entrenched on the Golan Heights in the north.

		The 1956 Sinai campaign viewed from Asia: selections from Moshe Sharett's diaries.
		OCTOBER 29, 2001 MARKED THE FORTY-FIFTH anniversary of the Sinai Campaign--Israel's first "war of choice." (1) The declared objective of the Israel Defense Force [IDF] was to eliminate the feda'yun incursions launched over the preceding two years from bases in the Egyptian-administered Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula against mostly civilian targets inside Israel.
		It soon became clear, however, that the IDF campaign had been prepared in collusion with France and Great Britain, and that Israel's war aims were not limited to this single declared military objective.

		That the Sinai be demilitarized, and the southbound Israeli shipping through the Red Sea unhindered, as was agreed in 1957 at the end of the Sinai Campaign, in a U.S. brokered Cease Fire agreement.
		The 1956 Sinai Campaign was fought jointly with the British and French forces that (although their ground forces' achievements were far from brilliant) carried much of the burden of air superiority.
		The facts are that the Golan Heights and the Sinai (where the depth of Egyptian penetration was, in some places, deeper than the whole width of Israel in many places), provided the depth required for the Israeli IDF to "buy" the time necessary for regrouping, reinforcing and re-supplying in view of the coming counterattack.
