تمرعلينا اليوم ذكرى انتصار العاشر من رمضان؛ هذه الذكرى الغالية التي تعكس عبقرية العسكرية المصرية في استرداد الأرض وقهر المستحيل. وإنني إذ في هذه المناسبة الطيبة والجليلة، أتقدم بتحية احترام وتقدير لشهداء الواجب الذين حققوا هذا النصر العظيم ١/٢ pic.twitter.com/8Skrtd9HH4

On October 7, 1973, corresponding to the 10th of Ramadan at 2:00pm (Cairo time), Egyptian and Syrian forces launched coordinated attacks on Israeli forces in the Sinai and the Golan Heights.
“The glorious victory of October was not only a restoration of land, but also a revival of a spirit that was thought of as diminished and blurred. It is the spirit of patriotism and loyalty that was pivotal in this great victory,” the State Information Service (SIS) said.
“After the defeat of June 1967, when those who lost their loyalty came out to violate the reputation of the great army of Egypt and accuse it of corruption, lack of resourcefulness, and letdowns in defending the homeland, the victory of October came to prove that the Egyptian army is the best of all; they are the loyal sons of Egypt who were able to erase defeat and turn it into a glorious victory,” it added.
