Israel to reduce Sinai armaments in goodwill move
Israel will withdraw half its troops and many weapons from the Sinai front as Egypt weighs access to the Suez Canal. Prime Minister Rabin announced plans to pull back 7,000 troops, 36 cannons, and half of its 30 tanks, with missiles limited to anti-tank systems, up to 25 miles east of the canal. Sadat and Kissinger praised the step as constructive toward peace amid canal reopening.
