San Francisco Transit Strike Shuts City Services
A union walkout by 7,500 city workers paralyzes San Francisco as streetcars, buses, and the airport halt partial operations. Police and fire remain, hospitals cut emergency services, and museums close while officials bargain. Thousands drive, walk, or hitchhike to work amid jammed bridges and empty Market Street.

Israeli Air Attacks Hit Egyptian Positions in Delta and Canal
Israeli planes struck an Egyptian SAM2 base in the Nile Delta 65 miles north of Cairo and then hit artillery and antiaircraft defenses in the northern canal sector. Egypt reports a canal crossing by troops last Sunday, a 13 mile deep bridgehead in Sinai, and attacks that left 14 to 20 killed and 25 armored cars knocked out. Israel hints at a potential peace breakthrough if Nasser is overthrown as Rabin returns from Washington to brief on jets sales and U N talks.
