Israelis Raid Egyptian Post Capturing Four Soldiers

A Israeli commando force backed by aircraft struck Ras Ghareb on the Suez Gulf during the night and returned with four captive Egyptian soldiers. The raid, the second land penetration in five days, followed an Egyptian attack that killed one Israeli soldier and abducted a civilian. Israel said planes provided cover and all raiders returned safely. The four captives may be exchanged for an Israeli officer in a broader prisoner swap involving Syria. The raid location is about 17 miles south of Suez, on the eastern shore of the gulf.
