1948

October
Following the violation of the ceasefire, the IDF embarks on two significant operations during the month: in the south (including the Negev), the Egyptian army is repelled in Operation Yoav, and Beersheva is conquered. An entire Egyptian brigade is surrounded in the "Faluja Pocket." In the north, the Arabic "Hazala" army is defeated and the entire Galilee comes under IDF control.
