abstract
  • Jules Yusuf Jammal () is a possibly fictitious person, said to have lived from April 1, 1932 to October 29, 1956, who is credited as a Syrian military officer who killed himself in a suicide bomb attack during the 1956 Suez Crisis, in Egypt. The narrative is that Jammal rammed his boat into a French warship, thereby sinking the ship. This story is given credence in some sources. However, as related in the 1967 book Six days in June: Israel's fight for survival by Washington correspondent and historian Robert J. Donovan, the tale is false but gained traction in the Arab world after being aired on Radio Cairo. It is cited as an example of the "potency of [the station] to propagate myths [as being] beyond dispute."
