Bar Lev Line
The Bar Lev Line (, "Kav Bar Lev"; , "Khaṭṭ Barlīf") was a chain of fortifications built by Israel along the eastern bank of the Suez Canal after it occupied the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt during the 1967 Six-Day War. It was considered impregnable and was a symbol of Israeli military perfection. It was overrun in 1973 by the Egyptian military during Operation Badr.
