Which of the following countries had built the ‘‘Barlev line linear defence’’ during the Arab-Israel war of 1973 ?
Israel
The Bar-Lev Line was a chain of fortifications, sand ramparts and strongpoints built along the eastern bank of the Suez Canal in the Sinai Peninsula. It was named after the Israeli Chief of General Staff Haim Bar-Lev and was constructed by Israel after the 1967 Six-Day War, mainly during the War of Attrition of 1969–1970, to hold the canal line against Egypt.
In the Arab-Israel war of October 1973 (the Yom Kippur or Ramadan War) the Egyptian army crossed the canal on 6 October in Operation Badr, breaching the high sand wall with water cannon and overrunning most of the strongpoints within hours. The fall of this linear defence is a classic example of the weakness of a static line against a well-planned assault.
Egypt was the attacker that breached the line, not its builder. Syria fought on the Golan Heights front, where the Israeli defences were the Purple Line positions, and Jordan stayed largely out of the 1973 fighting apart from sending a brigade to the Syrian front. Only Israel built the Bar-Lev Line.
Israel option is correct.
