The Stronghold

After four days of fighting, the Egyptians switch to a war of attrition against the outpost. Medical supplies are running low, and Dr. Nahum begins to clash with Shlomo, the company commander.

After the navy attempted to reach the besieged outpost, a debate erupted in the General Staff over whether the fighters at the pier should surrender voluntarily or hold out at all costs.

The fighters at the pier deliberately surrender according to the plan proposed by the doctor and are transferred to a prison in Cairo, where they undergo harsh treatment. Company commander Shlomo concludes his testimony before the Agranat Commission, and Dr. Nahum emerges shaken from his interrogation by the Military Police Criminal Investigation Division.
