b. ISRAEL .
,..
(U) The London ,Sunday Observor has reported that
Israeli troops captured seven Russian soldiers in uniform
on the Syrian froxt during the first week of the war, and
may still be holding them as prisoners of war. The paper
said the Russians were. captured when Israeli forces overran
their bunker.
.,c. 2R1SONE1 S OF WAR
(U) A press report out of Cyprus states that Israel
and Egypt may exchange wounded prisoners on 4 November.. They
reportedly will be transported on Red Cross aircraft. However,
neither Cairo nor Tel Aviv has confirmed this report.
d. SYRIAN CLIMATE
(C) The rainy season has begun and normally extends
from November through February. Vehicle operations will be
primarily restricted to paved roads. -The 'terrain along the
Israeli southern and northern flanks rules out off-road
maneuvers by large armor formations; armor operations will
thus be mainly limited to Damascus M Quneitra highway area.
e. MLIEP SUPPLIES I
(U) a total of 88 25X1
trucks had crossed the Israeli lines and offloaded supplies
for the Egyptian 3d Army.
