London reports nearly 40 Soviet ships have returned to the Mediterranean as NATO maneuvers approach. Analysts note at least three cruisers, seven missile destroyers, 11 submarines and other support vessels in the region.

Israeli warplanes hit Egyptian military camps at Tel El Kebir Dahshur and Inshas about 70 miles inside Egypt in a three pronged strike. Observers say it marked the deepest penetration since the 1967 war as radar sites along the Suez were knocked out and helicopters seized a radar station. In Lebanon, Beirut called a crisis session as Israeli raids on guerrilla camps continued and Lebanon debated border security and a prior agreement.
