Page "Operation Yoav" Paragraph 9

According to Jewish historian Benny Morris, soldiers from the 8th Brigade carried out a massacre at al-Dawayima.

After the Egyptians retreated southward from Ashdod ( October 28 ) and al-Majdal ( November 6 ) to Gaza, the coastal strip down to Yad Mordechai was occupied by Israeli forces.

On 9 November, the Iraq Suwaydan fortress was captured and renamed the Yoav Fortress in honor of the operation.
