The remains of the soldier discovered while digging a road in South Sinai date back to 1967 as shown by the ID card found with the corpse, Al-Watan reported an informed source as saying. The card, which was issued in 1962 and expired in 1967, showed that the soldier was a Muslim. The dates are evidence that the martyr was from the Six-Day Arab-Israeli War in 1967, rather than the Ramadan War which began on October 6, 1976. The martyr's name was Abdel Hamid Mohamed Abdel Hamid and he was born in Fayoum in 1942. He will be buried at October War Martyrs cemetery.
