Letters from the Permanent Representative Of Israel and the Permanent Representative of the United Arab Republic, circulated to the Security Council as S/9285 and S/9325, respectively, referred to the proposed hand-over of the bodies of UAR soldiers killed during an incident on the east bank of the Suez Canal on 23 June 1969. The following summary report on the efforts made to arrange for this hand-over is based on reports received from Lt. General Odd Bull, Chief of Staff of lOTSC: 1. On the morning of 23 June 1969 the IDF Liaison Officer advised UHTSO that three dead UAR soldiers had been found on the east bank of the Canal approximately 6 kilometres south of Kantara. 2. At 031*5 GMT on 2k June the Senior UAR Liaison Officer was informed by the Acting Chief of Staff of UETSO of the finding of the bodies and that one body had been recovered by Israel forces but t:\at the recovery of the other two bodies was not successful owing to fire by UAR forces. The Senior UAR Liaison Officer was also informed that the Israel authorities had recommended the hand-over of the bodies to the UAR authorities through the International Red Cross, and it was suggested that orders be given to keep the cease-fire to enable recovery of the bodies. It was also suggested that an Israel party, accompanied by an UEMO (United nations Military Observer), recover the bodies at 1200 GMT on 24 June. 3. At 1033 GMT Senior UAR Liaison Officer informed the Officer-in- Charge, Ismailia Control Centre, that he agreed to the recovery of the bodies by an Israel recovery party accompanied by an UESMO. He agreed to the bodies being recovered at 1200 GMT and also agreed to take over the bodies at a time and place to be arranged later by the Red Cross. At 1050 GMT the Senior UAR Liaison Officer agreed to take over the bodies at Kantara at 1500 GMT, and he gave the Red Cross boat times. He promised no fire from west to east to enable recovery to be completed. (Later on 2k June the IDP Liaison Officer informed UOTSO that an additional two bodies had been found.)

An UNMO, detailed to accompany the recovery team, -was met at OP Violet (MR 7^09-9052) by the Assistant Senior Israel Representative, who escorted the UNMO to a location approximately 3° kilometres east of Ismailia. The Assistant Senior Israel Representative stated to the "OMO that it was necessary to proceed there to collect coffins. After approximately 50 minutes at this location the Assistant Senior Israel Representative stated the coffins were not there but were back at Kantara. The UMO and the Assistant Senior Israel Representative then proceeded to the scene of the |f recovery, and recovery was attempted at 1530 GMP. The UMMO observed only | two bodies located approximately 20 metres into a minefield, and he was told tbat one body had been buried. Between 15^5 GMT and 1557 GMT UAR forces fired three rounds of mortar fire at the recovery location. One round landed approximately ^0 metres away, and the recovery party withdrew to a distance of 5°0 metres from the location. 5. At 1610 GMT the Assistant Senior Israel Representative stated tbat it would not be possible to complete the recovery that dey due to firing by UAR forces. 6. At 1628 GMT the Senior UAR Liaison Officer informed the Officer-in- Charge, Ismailia Control Centre, that unless the hand-over was completed before r,"00 GMI the cease-fire would be considered cancel-lf-d and that the UAR would not want the bodies back, as the Israel forces were using the cease-fire for means other than recovery of the bodies. 7. The Officer-in-Charge, Ismailia Control Centre, explained the difficulties encountered and that there had been mortar fxro from west to east during the recovery. It was proposed to the Senior LI/.R Liaison Officer that the recovery and hand-over be completed on 25 June. The Senior UAR Liaison Officer stated that the UAR did not want the bodies back. 8. The Senior UAR Liaison Officer was again contacted to ensure that he would not accept the bodies, and he confirmed no acceptance. 9. The text of the letter of 11 July from the Permanent Mission of the United Arab Republic to the Secretary-General (8/9325) was transmitted to the Chief of Staff of UMTSO with the suggestion that he should take appropriate action in the light of the request of the United. Arab Republic Government to the Secretary-General for "assistance in facilitating the prompt repatriation of the remains of the three United Aral) Republic soldiers". On the morning of ih July, the Assistant IDF Liaison Officer was requested by UMTSO to enquire whether the Israel authorities were ready to hand over the bodies. At 1500 hours GMT on 1^ July, the Israel authorities replied that in principle they were ready to hand over the bodies in question. . S/7930/Add.£71 English Page 3

10. On 16 July, the Assistant IDF Liaison Officer informed UHTSO that the Israel authorities were ready to carry out a new attempt to recover the bodies left in the minefield and to hand them over to the UAR authorities. He suggested that the recovery operation should take place on 17 July at 0900 hours. The recovery team would be accompanied by one UKMO as had been the case in the previous attempt on 2U June. The hand«*over would take place at Kantara immediately after the recovery. 11. At 1212 hours GMT on l6 July, the Chief of Staff passed the following message to the Senior UAR Liaison Officer: "Israel Authorities have agreed to attempt to recover the bodies of UAR Soldiers killed during the incident of 23 June and lying on eastern side x-a OP Echo area. The attempt will take place at 0900 GMT on 17 -July 1969. Recovery teem will be accompanied by one 'OHhO. The iuvnd-ov;^- of the recovered bodies will take place in Kantara at 1000 GMT. Please arrange to have the boat available to carry out the hand-over at the proposed time. It is understood that during both recovery and hand-over operations breaches of the ceasefire should be most carefully avoided from either side in ci''^:-: rut to jeopardize the success of this humanitarian operation. Please advise." At the same time, the Officer-in-Charge Kantara Control Centre was requested to have an UKMO on standby to assist in the recovei-y and hand-over operation and to co-ordinate with the Senior Israel Representative. The IDF Liaison Officer suggested that the hand-over should be at Talata immediately after the bodies had been recovered. This information was passed immediately to the Senior UAR Liaison Officer. 12. At 155^ hours GMT on 16 July, the Officer-in-Charge Ismailia received the following answer from the Senior UAR Liaison Officer: "The UAR Authorities agree to take over the bodies at Talata bridge. This hand-over will be completed at 1000 GMT. The boat will leave Ismailia harbour at 0900 GMT and proceed to Talata bridge, where it will arrive well in advance of the arrival of the bodies." It was pointed out to the Senior UAR Liaison Officer that the time- limit of 1000 hours GMT might be too short because the new location for the hand-over at Talata Bridge was further from the location of the recovery operation. The Senior UAR Liaison Officer replied that he would extend the time-limit to 1100 hours GMT. The Assistant IDF Liaison Officer was informed of the agreement of the UAR authorities.
