This occurred when the left section faced a non-connected line of trenches, through which they were able to fight their way across the Gaza to Beersheba road at 08:30, forcing an artillery gun to withdrawn.
Dette skete da den venstre del stod overfor en selvstændig linje af skyttegrave, gennem hvile de kunne kæmpe sig vej over Gaza til Beersheba vejen kl. 8.30 hvorved de tvang en kanon til at trække sig tilbage.
