Gamal Abdel Nasser, who commands an army…

1948 CE

Gamal Abdel Nasser, who commands an army unit in Palestine and is wounded in the chest, is dismayed by the inefficiency and lack of preparation of the army.

In the battle for the Negev Desert in October 1948, Nasser and his unit are trapped at Falluja, near
Beersheba.

The unit holds out and is eventually able to counterattack.

This event assumes great importance for Nasser, who sees it as a symbol of his country's determination to free Egypt from all forms of oppression, internal and external.
