Arab-Israel clash and Syrian power struggle reported
Israeli and Egyptian forces fought a two hour gun and artillery duel across the Suez Canal near Ismailia. The clash marked a third breach of the Middle East truce in as many days as Beirut reports a bitter power struggle in Syria with moderates opposing radicals. Rumors said Damascus faces further upheaval with Baath leaders under pressure from the armed forces, while Pan Arab command meetings stir regional tensions.
