First Israeli Occupation of Gaza 1956-57

RAFAH, GAZA STRIP - JANUARY 15, 1957: More than two months after Israel's first occupation of this war-torn area, Israeli troops man a roadblock marking the new Israeli border with El Arish in the Sinai Desert January 15, 1957 at the southern Arab town of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. In late October 1956, shortly before the British and French invasion of the Suez Canal Zone, Israeli troops seized the Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip and used it as a springboard for its advance against the Egyptians in the Sinai Peninsula. On March 6, 1957 the United Nations Emergency Force replaced the Israeli troops, and Cairo regained control of the Gaza Strip. (Photo by GPO via Getty Images) *** Local Caption ***
