November 3rd, 1956 68 years ago

On this day, the Israel Defense Forces conducted an operation in Khan Yunis, located in Egyptian-controlled Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 275 Palestinians. The military action was aimed at uprooting a growing threat from fedayeen attacks against Israel. This operation was part of the broader Suez Crisis, during which Israel, along with Britain and France, intervened in Egypt following President Gamal Abdel Nasser's nationalization of the Suez Canal.
