31 October 1956 was the most intense day for air combat in the Suez Crisis. Both sides kept sending their fighter-bombers against ground targets. This included WW2 vintage piston-engine aircraft and even combat-capable trainers. Such strategy led to multiple losses, especially on the Israeli side. Both sides also sent Combat Air Patrols and escort flights which inevitably led to another dogfight and aerial victory. There was also a raid by an Egyptian destroyer on Haifa which resulted in the ship being attacked by two Ouragans.
