For two years or more, the state was systematically infiltrated by terrorists and murderers who came from across the Egyptian and Jordanian borders, and Egypt continued to close the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba. The threat to Israel was exacerbated when a military alliance was signed between Egypt, Syria and Jordan, and huge quantities of arms began flowing into Egypt from Czechoslovakia and gathering in Sinai.

The nationalization of the Suez was also waged against Egypt by Britain and France. Israel's military campaign - the "Sinai Campaign" - began on October 29, 1956, and within a few days the IDF's divisions occupied most of Sinai.Egypt's refusal to stop military operations served as a pretext for the invasion of French and British forces. And the United States and the British and French forces were arrested during the operations.The fighting ended on November 5, after the IDF took control of the Gaza Strip and reached the entire Gulf. Under pressure from the United Nations, Israel agreed to evacuate Sinai, but the achievements of the "Sinai Campaign" - the defeat of the Egyptian army and the destruction of its bases in Sinai, the cessation of sabotage operations, the opening of the Gulf of Eilat to Israeli sailing - remained intact.
