On 24 January 1952, Egyptian guerrillas staged a fierce attack on the British forces around the Suez Canal, during which the Egyptian Auxiliary Police were observed helping the guerrillas. In response, on 25 January, General <a href="/wiki/George_Erskine" title="George Erskine">George Erskine</a> sent out British tanks and infantry to surround the auxiliary police station in Ismailia.

However, the application of the (possibly) "dual" ending to some toponyms and other words, a development peculiar to Hebrew, does not in fact imply any "two-ness" about the place. The ending is found, for example, in the Hebrew words for such single entities as "water" ("מַיִם"), "noon" ("צָהֳרַיִם"), "sky/heaven" ("שָׁמַיִם"), and in the <i><a href="/wiki/Qere_and_Ketiv" title="Qere and Ketiv">qere</a></i> – but not the original "ketiv" – of "Jerusalem" ("ירושל[י]ם"). It should also be noted that the dual ending – which may or may not be what the <i>-áyim</i> in "Mitzráyim" actually represents – was available to other Semitic languages, such as Arabic, but was not applied to Egypt.
