Battle of Hill 86

The Battle of Hill 86 was a military engagement between the Israel Defense Forces and the Egyptian Army as part of Operation ''Horev''. It was fought on December 22–23, 1948, and was the first battle of the operation. The Israelis initiated the battle, as well as a concurrent raid on the Arab village of 'Abasan and aerial and naval shelling of the coastal strip, with the hope of deceiving the Egyptians into thinking that the coming operation would be aimed at isolating the Egyptian forces in Gaza.
The 13th Battalion of the Golani Brigade captured the hill on the night of December 22–23, but weather conditions prevented reinforcements from coming forward with essential supplies. The Egyptians counterattacked in the morning; the Israelis retreated after suffering over 40 casualties.
== Background ==
The third and final stage of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War started on October 15, 1948, when Israel launched Operation ''Yoav'' on the southern front. This was part of the backdrop of Folke Bernadotte's second plan for the partition of Palestine, which called for the entire Negev desert to be part of the Arab state, contrary to the 1947 partition plan.〔 While the Israelis made significant tactical and strategic gains in Operation ''Yoav'', the political situation changed little—Egypt was dragging its feet on proposed armistice talks, and the Israeli government feared that the Bernadotte plan was still relevant internationally.〔 Operation ''Horev'' was therefore launched in the south with the final aim of expelling all Egyptian forces from Israel.〔
The main thrust of the operation was planned to be in the south and east of the southern front, with the initial aim of cutting-off the eastern wing of the Egyptian army from the bulk of its forces in Palestine. To make the task easier, the Israeli command decided to divert the Egyptians' attention by staging an assault against their main troop concentration in what today is the Gaza Strip. Hill 86, strategically located east of the coastal road and coastal railway, was chosen as the target.〔
