In the year 1948 AD, the outskirts of the city of Al-Arish witnessed the shattering of the dream of Israel to occupy the Sinai, where a brave Egyptian soldier confronted the enemy tanks attacking the city of Al-Arish, near the village of Lahfin, south of Al-Arish.
In the modern era, the spark of the July 23 revolution was the first to start from Al-Arish, since the two battalions that surrounded the King’s Palace in Abdin and the important areas in Cairo were from the forces of Major General Muhammad Najib, the commander of the Arish region and the first president of Egypt.
