Supply delivery to Mount Ataka by the reconnaissance company. Since the Air Force was afraid of the Egyptian missiles, they did not bring supplies to the mountain. We were on the first crazy march with 20 kg on our backs, in addition to personal gear. It was especially hard. We walked for almost 20 hours. In the front: the company commander – Shmulik, talking to the new deputy company commander – Haggai, and in the front – Danny Ben Shalom. With cooperation of Nadav Mann / Bitmuna

On the ascent to Mount Ataka, a rest along the way. From right: Ilan—behind him, Strol is urinating—Dany—?-? For most of us, the standard personal weapon was still the FN Belgian rifles, 7.62mm. With cooperation of Nadav Mann / Bitmuna

After the rest, halfway to Mount Ataka, final adjustments to the heavy equipment: Dany - Moshe - Deputy Company Commander, Haggai, and facing him, Eitan, the Platoon Commander. With cooperation of Nadav Mann / Bitmuna
