When the Egyptian Battalion Arrived in the Valley of Ayalon: One Year After the Discovery of Mini-Israel Park's Mass Grave

Historically, the Valley of Ayalon in Palestine, also known as Ajalon, is mentioned in the renowned Amarna letters of ancient Egypt. Specifically, a series of letters were sent by a local chieftain in ancient Jerusalem, seeking military aid from Egypt to protect the city of Ajalon against invaders.

The recipient pharaoh of these pleas remains unclear. While some historians suggest Amenhotep III as the addressee, others speculate that the letters were sent to either Akhenaten or his son Tutankhamun.

Alternatively, there is no recorded evidence of Egyptian military aid being dispatched to the area, at least not promptly.

After a span of 3,259 years (according to AI calculations), a contingent of Egyptian fighters finally arrived in the Valley of Ayalon in response to the plea of East Jerusalem's ruler.


In July 2022, Egyptians became aware of the events that took place in the Valley of Ayalon during the summer of 1967. Unlike the ancient clay tablets, this knowledge was acquired through the internet when Israeli media once again uncovered a mass grave, revealing a war crime committed against Egyptian fighters during the Six-Day War.

Israeli Yediot Ahronoth and Haaretz newspapers “Please note that Yediot Ahronoth published the report in Hebrew while Haaretz has got its infamous paywall” as well as veteran Israeli journalist Yossi Melman on Twitter revealed after five decades of Israeli military censorship the horrifying truth.

That's what the Israeli media reported as published by Haaretz, Yediot Ahronoth, and Melman but first little official background.
