Under the auspices of Dr. Abdelaziz Konswa, President of Alexandria University, the Faculty of Economics and Political Science organized a symposium entitled: "The Great Lessons of the October and Attrition Wars: The Operation to Destroy the Port of Eilat as a Model", in which Major General Captain Omar Ezz El-Din - one of the heroes of the Eilat Operation and the October and Attrition Wars, and Captain Mohsen Mukhtar El-Gahry - one of the heroes of the October and Attrition Wars, lectured.
In his speech, Dr. Ahmed Wahban, Dean of the Faculty, pointed out that this symposium comes within the framework of the integrated activity of Alexandria University to introduce students to the history of our beloved Egypt and the bravery of its men who set an example to be followed in loyalty, sacrifice and dedication. He stressed that the October victory was a new renaissance and a victory that changed all the balance of power. He added that crossing the Suez Canal was a crossing of a nation
and several generations from the narrowness of despair and hopelessness to the spaciousness of hope, pride, dignity and faith. He called upon God Almighty to accept all our righteous martyrs who sacrificed their pure blood in order to inject new blood into our nation for a new era based on pride in the Egyptian identity.
The seminar was moderated by Dr. Osama El-Adly, the college’s vice dean for education and student affairs, who stressed in his speech that October 6, 1974 represents a pivotal moment in the history of our beloved Egypt, where the Egyptian army wrote countless lines of glory, and its soldiers and leaders wrote a new history for this country with letters of light, where they achieved what all military academies in the world described as a “miracle.” He also stressed the need for our youth to sense the value of this victory and take it as an example that whoever works sincerely and masters it will succeed and overcome hardships.
Major General Captain Omar Ezz El-Din Mahfouz reviewed the prominent role played by both economics and political science in managing battles and wars, considering them two very important and vital specializations, stressing that the October victories are an extension of a continuous chain of determination, bravery and steadfastness that began with the War of Attrition, which came days after the 1967 setback. The War of Attrition came to become a new starting point, the features of which began to crystallize in the “Ras El-Esh” battle, which is considered the beginning of the first stages of steadfastness along the front. In Port Fouad, after 3 weeks of a harsh defeat, as well as the people's refusal to step down from the political leadership, and their insistence on continuing the war to restore and liberate the land under the same leadership, His Excellency discussed the prominent role played by the Egyptian missile launches and the destruction of the destroyer Eilat, the largest and most massive Israeli naval vessel on October 21, which was a painful blow to the enemy's armies.
Major General Captain Omar Ezz El-Din also reviewed the most prominent events related to the operation to destroy the port of Eilat and the raid of November 8, 1969, and the raid of November 15-16, and the story of the martyred hero Mohamed Fawzi Al-Barquqi, who preferred to attain martyrdom while carrying out the mission with valor rather than withdraw with his colleagues who refused to leave his body in the water, referring to the doctrine of the Egyptian army and the role of the fighting soldier.
In his speech, Captain Mohsen Mokhtar El-Gohary discussed the cleaning of the Suez Canal, which is considered an extension of the October War. His Excellency reviewed the various diving activities in the Navy, namely: tactical diving carried out by frogmen, marine rescue, and military engineers. He also touched on the bombing operations carried out in cooperation with military engineers, the role of the human element in the war, the martyrdom doctrine of Egyptian soldiers, as well as the values of faith in God, love of the homeland, and hatred of the enemy, which played a major role in the successive victories achieved by the Egyptian army that dazzled the world. He also reviewed the impact of the October War on military thought.
Engineer Abdel Latif Antar, one of the heroes of the October War, gave a rich speech through which he introduced the students and attendees to the great role of the Engineering Corps in the October War and beyond.
At the end of the event, Dr. Wahban honored the two distinguished guests by presenting them with the faculty shield in appreciation and gratitude, in the presence of a group of faculty members, assistants and students.
