Operation An-Far (short for Anti-Farouk) was a military operation launched by Israel's Givati Brigade on the night of July 8–9 during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Its objectives were to gain control of approaches in southern Judea[1] and block the advance of the Egyptian army. The fighting continued until July 15, and was followed by Operation Death to the Invader.[2][3]
