ضرب الاسكندرية

On Tuesday, the eleventh of July 1882, the British fleet began shelling Alexandria. One of its fortresses responded after the tenth shot, while the other fortresses answered after the fifteenth shot. The naval bombardment of the city continued until five o’clock. The bombing of Alexandria was not caused by a single reason, as researchers have sought answers in the news of that day, that month, and even those years. The bustling city, with its inhabitants, fell victim to cold-blooded violence and a long premeditated plan for various reasons, some of which date back hundreds of years.
