The first elements of the new United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) arrived in Cairo on 26 October 1973, the day after the adoption of the Security Council Resolution setting up the Force. UNTSO Military Observers also cooperate with the Force in carrying out its mandate.
A group of UNTSO military observers is seen walking through the "Bar Lev" line, the former Israeli position along the east bank of the Suez Canal, which is now held by the Egyptian forces.
