>This advance depended on the construction of a railway and water pipeline. With the railway reaching El Arish on 4 January 1917, an attack on Rafa by the newly formed Desert Column became possible. During the day-long assault, the Ottoman garrison defended El Magruntein's series of fortified redoubts and trenches on rising ground surrounded by flat grassland. ⇒この進軍は、鉄道と水パイプラインの建設に依存していた。1917年1月4日、鉄道がエル・アリーシュまで到達したので、新しく編成された砂漠縦隊によるラファへの攻撃が可能になった。終日の襲撃の間、オスマントルコ軍の守備隊は、一連のエル・マグルタインの強化要塞と平らな草原に囲まれた高台の塹壕を擁護した。 >They were eventually encircled by Australian Light Horsemen, New Zealand mounted riflemen, mounted Yeomanry, cameliers and armoured cars. In the late afternoon, the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade captured the central redoubt and the remaining defences were occupied shortly afterwards. ⇒結局、彼らはオーストラリア軍軽騎馬隊、ニュージーランド騎馬ライフル隊、ヨーマンリー騎馬隊、ラクダ隊および装甲車隊に取り囲まれた。午後遅く、ニュージーランド騎馬ライフル旅団が中心砦を攻略して、その後まもなく残りの防衛砦も占領された。
