Caption Description An Egyptian-Israeli agreement covering a number of major problems was signed on 11 November at 1310 hours (GMT) at kilometre marker 101 on the Cairo-Suez Road. It provided for unhindered non-military supplies for the city of Suez and for Egyptian units on the east bank of the Canal, the exchange of war prisoners and the evacuation of wounded civilians from Suez, and the replacement of Israeli by United Nations checkpoints on the Cairo-Suez Road.
