Nahal Yam (Hebrew: נח"ל ים) was a Nahal settlement in the Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula.[1] Located 80 kilometres (50 mi) to the east of the Suez Canal,[2] it was established on 3 October 1967, four months after the Six-Day War. On 9 March 1973, seven months before the Yom Kippur War, Nahal Yam was slated to be abandoned in favour of a nearby fishing village. Upon the signing of the Egypt–Israel peace treaty on 26 March 1979, Israel began withdrawing from the Sinai Peninsula and finished returning it to Egypt on 25 April 1982.
