This thread is dedicated to the Fallen Hero, Khaled El Maghraby, may he RIP who was martyred on 7/7/2017 in the famous terrorist attack in #Sinai #Egypt called AlBarth detachment incident. It& #39;s a translation of a thread by @Zala6Egy & @Tahoun71 helped me with the military terms/1
Khaled El Maghraby, nicknamed "Tank" or "Dababa" in Arabic was a member of the 83rd battalion responsible for securing & support of posts & in particular 103rd Battalion. The 103rd battalion was responsible for securing the AlBarth troop gathering detachment./2
Khaled or Tank/ Dababa was on leave & was notified that he will be moved to Alexandria to serve there. He went back to his battalion to say goodbye to his friends & collect his belongings in #Sinai before the move to Alexandria.

Khaled& #39;s friends respected him & asked him to stay with them a few days before he leaves #Sinai.
He agreed.
On the day he was supposed to leave, he heard on the radio that AlBarth post has been attacked by terrorists using heavy artillery. The 103rd battalion was attacked/4

He asked his officer if he can assist his friends & the officer told him that he& #39;s officially on leave and he should just go to Alexandria. Khaled said he can& #39;t do that when the 103rd battalion is under attack. At that instance an SOS came from the leader of 103rd battalion/5
Khaled, Tank/Dababa moved in 4 armoured vehicles with his colleagues to support the troops fighting in AlBarth.
At that time, the terrorists had already prepared a suicide bomber in a car loaded with explosives on the way that Khaled and his colleagues were taking./6

The hero Khaled Dababa passed away! He always knew that he would be killed/martyred. The terrorists in #Sinai had put a price of 1 Million dollars on his head. He had the reputation of taking down more than 430 terrorists due to his fearlessness./ 7 #Egypt
Khaled was personally contacted a couple of times during his life by the Minister of Defence to thank him for his achievements in clearing #Sinai from terrorists.
Khaled used to say "the terrorists that are not caught by artillery will be terminated by planes or by him"/End
