This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Ras Sedr massacre (Hebrew: טבח ראס סודר; Arabic: مجزرة رأس سدر) was a mass murder of at least 52 Egyptian prisoners of war that took place immediately after a paratrooper unit of the Israel Defense Forces conquered Ras Sedr in the Sinai Peninsula on 8 June 1967 during the Six-Day War.

[4] In April 2009, Haaretz reported that Israeli television director Ram Loevy had heard about the massacre shortly after the war, from fellow paratroopers in his unit.

Survivors alleged later that about 400 wounded Egyptians were buried alive outside the captured El Arish International Airport, and that 150 prisoners in the mountains of the Sinai were run over by Israeli tanks.

[9] It has been suggested that the massacre may have fed into the later killing of dozens of Israeli prisoners by Egyptian forces in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

[10] Batya Gur's literary crime novel, "Murder in Jerusalem" (Harper, 2006; ISBN 9780060852948), uses the suppressed memory of the Ras Sedr massacre as the foundation of her plot, which was elaborated in collaboration with Ram Loevy (see "Acknowledgments" section).
