Due to a breakdown in communications, Egyptian commanders believed that their 4th Armored Brigade was surrounded near Bir Gifgafa. The Egyptians' reserve brigade, equipped with new T-54s, attacked up the Ismaila-Bir Gifgafa Road in an attempt to rescue the 4th Armored Brigade. In front of them was an Israeli light battalion of AMX-13s. However, just as the Egyptians were about to break through, a company of Israeli Ben Gurions arrived. Faced with thick-skinned tanks to the front and light tanks nipping at their flanks, Egyptian forces were forced to withdraw.*
