Abraham Adan Totally Explained

Everything about Abraham Adan totally explained

Avraham (English transliteration: Abraham) "Bren" Adan (born October 1926) is an Israeli army general who served in the military between 1947 - 1973.
He was born in Kfar Gileadi, British-Mandate Palestine in 1926. He joined the Jewish self-defense force, the Palmach, in 1943, before the country of Israel declared its independence in 1948. During Israel's War of Independence during 1947-1948, he led the Negev Brigade in capturing the Jordanian outpost of Eilat, at the southeastern-most tip of the newly created country. During the 1956 Suez War, Lieutenant Colonel Adan commanded the 7th Armoured Brigade (the Hativa Sheva) in the Sinai and defeated several Egyptian forces in that area. During the June, 1967 Six-Day War, Adan was the deputy commander of an armored division fighting again in the Sinai. Shortly thereafter, he conceived of the idea to build a high sand dune along the east side of the Suez Canal to prevent the Egyptians from observing the Israeli defenses. Major General Adan was defending the northern portion of the Israeli defense along the Suez Canal when the October, 1973 Yom Kippur War started. As the commander of the 162nd Division (IDF) - the 162nd Armoured Division - he directed his unit to cross into Egyptian territory just north of the Great Bitter Lake during Operation Strongheart. He then maneuvered his unit southward to Suez City, where his unit surrounded the Egyptian Third Army. This envelopment caused the collapse of the Egyptian war effort. Between 1974 and 1977, he served as the Armed Forces Attache at the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC.
