The Southern Command led IDF troops in five wars against Egypt: the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the Suez War, the Six-Day War, the War of Attrition, and the Yom Kippur War.

Southern Command (video Game)
''Southern Command'' is a 1981 video game published by Strategic Simulations for the Apple II. Gameplay ''Southern Command'' is a game in which the player plays as the Israelis during the Yom Kippur War. Reception Bob Proctor reviewed the game for ''Computer Gaming World'', and stated that "''Southern Command'' is an outstanding game and a very realistic historical simulation. The rule book and two reference cards are of SSI's usual (high) quality. The only thing I could want would be an option to play the Egyptian side solitaire, but programming the computer to play the Israelis would not be a trivial task. Still, it will keep me busy trying to crack that Egyptian defense at the highest difficulty level. I urge you to try it too."
