Louis J Sheehan - 83327 - reinforcements 334.rei.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

Friday, May 07, 2010 - 5:15 PM With reinforcements on the way, the Israel Defense Forces (see Israel: The armed forces) rapidly turned the tide. Israel succeeded in disabling portions of the Egyptian air defenses, which allowed Israeli forces commanded by Gen. Ariel Sharon to cross the Suez Canal and surround the Egyptian Third Army. On the Golan front, Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire, at heavy cost, repulsed the Syrians and advanced to the edge of the Golan plateau on the road to Damascus. On October 22 the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 338, which called for an immediate end to the fighting; despite this, however, hostilities continued for several days thereafter and finally ceased on October 26.
