More DescriptionPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Bar Lev Line (Hebrew: Kha? Barl'f) was a chain of fortifications built by Israel along the eastern coast of the Suez Canal after it captured the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt during the 1967 Six-Day War. The Bar Lev Line evolved from a group of rudimentary fortifications placed along the canal line. In response to Egyptian artillery bombardments during the War of Attrition, the Israelis decided to develop the fortifications into an elaborate defense system spanning 160 kilometers along Suez Canal, with the exception of the Great Bitter Lake (where a canal crossing was unlikely due to the width of the lake).
