1948 War of Independance: Operation Yoav--Short version
The IDF offensive Operation Yoav started at 15 October 1948. Its goal was to drive a wedge between the Egyptian forces along the coast and the Beersheba–Hebron–Jerusalem road and ultimately to conquer the whole Negev. The offensive had started with IAF operation Egrof (punch) – air bombardment of major Egyptian forces concentrations at Gaza, Beit Jibrin,  Faluja, Beersheba and El-Arish. Every single aircraft capable of carrying bombs was used for the operation. This was followed by an IDF operation against Egyptian forces at Beit Jibrin that had fallen under the Israeli control which lead to "operation Moshe", known as the Battle of Beersheva.
