During the last week of April, the General von Arnim delivered his counter-attacks with the greatest ferocity, but they were met with equally fierce resistance and succeeded only in recovering a little lost ground, though this included the recapture of the important key point of Bou Aoukas. By May 2, both sides had fought themselves to exhaustion; but whereas Von Arnim had expended his reserves, General Alexander had still strong forces in hand, including those of the 8th Army which was still uncommitted to a major attack.
