Operation Bulmus 6 / the Green Island Raid

Operation Bulmus 6, also known as the Green Island Raid, was a military raid conducted by a combined force of Sayaret Matkal and Shayetet 13, against an Egyptian early warning radar and ELINT station located on a small island in the Gulf of Suez on the night of July 19, 1969.

The successful operation was a turning point in the War of Attrition, whereupon the IDF took the initiative from the Egyptian army.

For the first time, The IDF and Defense Establishment Archive presents reports, orders, radio log, and rare photographs from the raid.
