Atef Sadat

To avoid distracting her husband, Jehan Sadat waited until the eighth day of the war before breaking the news of his brother's death to him. He was first reported dead on 5 January 1974 by Egyptian newspapers. On 31 March 1974, an Israeli army spokesman disclosed that a search party had found his body in the sands of the western Sinai Peninsula and that it had handed him over to the Egyptian government. He was buried the same day in his hometown of Mit Abu El Kom.

On 5 October 1973, a state of readiness was launched at Bilbeis Airport, and every pilot ran a fighter inside the fortified aircraft complex, and the planes were armed with bombs and ready, but the mission was cancelled as this was a training exercise on assembling pilots.

Mohamed Atef Anwar Sadat (Arabic: محمد عاطف أنور السادات; 13 March 1948 – 6 October 1973) was a fighter pilot in the Egyptian Air Force who had the rank of flight lieutenant. In the Yom Kippur War, he and a colleague were killed in a raid on an Israeli military airport. He is the younger brother of former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who was assassinated on the same day eight years later.

Atef Sadat was born on 13 March 1948 in the village of Mit Abu El Kom, Tala District, in Monufia Governorate. He graduated from the Egyptian Air Academy in 1966, and spent two years in the Soviet Union, attending a training program on air fighters and then fighter bombers (the Sukhoi).
