El Arish, June 6th 1967: The original plan, for the 55th Parachute Bde, called for the brigade to be dropped, or landed, at night behind the Egyptian lines at the El Arish airfield. That plan began to change with the reports of the successes of the Southern Command Divisions. Around noon on the 5th of June, the entire brigade was transferred to the Central front where it saw action at Jerusalem. This "WHAT IF" scenario examines a series of events that might have unfolded had the original plan been executed. "What if" the Egyptians had held longer around Rafah, but were to move back to the El Arish area that night. The Israeli drop for 55th Para was back on with a vengeance
