Battle of Thamad - Campaign Series: Middle East 1948 -1985

[Thamad, Sinai Peninsula]: [H2H][HIS][CSL]: As the 202nd Parachute Brigade advanced across the central Sinai to link up with the 890th Parachute Battalion at Mitla Pass, three small villages were to be captured to secure the supply route. One of these hamlets was Thamad, a small village that houses elements of a National Guard and Border Guard Battalion. The small Egyptian force defending Kuntilla withdrew and took positions around Thamad. Since timing was the essence, only a portion of the advance Israeli force was dispatched to secure the village, the rest heading west to Mitla Pass. [ALL:NOVV][NONE][1.00]
