The occupation of Hulikat was the decisive move in Operation Yoav and was considered one of the most significant victories in the War of Independence. The seizure of the compound completed the encirclement of the Faluja pocket in which a brigade of the Egyptian army was captured. In addition, he was caught in a large booty, which included 38 Vickers machine guns and several armored cars. The booty was used during the following months to continue the occupation of the Negev during Operation Horev and Operation Uvda. However, the victory was achieved at a heavy price - 28 Givati fighters were killed in the battle and about 70 were wounded.
