Where is Al-Uqaydat? Three conflicting distances
Three published locations for Al-Uqaydat, each measured from a different reference point
"In June, Al-Sheikh placed the first strike just half a kilometre from the October point."
0.5km
Faisal Al-SheikhJune strike siteReference: the October strike point
20 to 30km
Atarciting an unnamed sourceReference: south of the border
31.5km
Atarpublished map pinReference: south of the 22nd parallel
The reference point differs in each row, so the figures cannot be compared directly.
Published references place Al-Uqaydat anywhere from half a kilometre to more than 30 kilometres away, and Eigad and Al-Uqaydat are most likely two names for the same area.
