in fact by the time the egyptians launched their attack the syrian front had already been stabilized. israelis had been forced to halt their advance by the arrival of iraqi troops. begin very very in their home after. they arrived and surprised our forces when they attacked. we had put out an alert that the iraqi forces are moving towards the goal line but we couldn't tell them the precise location. so that came as a surprise. they tried to place part of the blame on us but what could be done. because over. iraq a third army division had moved swiftly from its bases around baghdad towards the golan a distance of over a thousand kilometers. levels than. we arrived that night and the outskirts of damascus it was guarded by syrian civilians the things they said to was that night the eleventh of october shocked us are you iraqis yes we are iraqis for god's sake save our own. we thought it was a total victory that was a huge shock we started to realize that the situation had completely changed. how the our souther also there. despite their fatigue the iraqi forces were rushed to the front
