The second major battle of the Sinai Campaign in 1956 was the Israeli effort to neutralize Egyptian military concentrations in the vicinity of Abu Ageila. Abu Ageila fell on October 31, 1956, and Israeli forces were immediately ordered to keep pushing forward in order to neutralize Egyptian defensive positions at Ruefa Dam. In an effort to stop the Israeli drive, the Egyptian 1st Armored Brigade advanced from Bir Gafgafa. The Egyptian relief force was detected almost immediately, and an Israeli armored task force intercepted the Egyptians near Bir Gafgafa on November 2, 1956.*
