In the air and on the ground, the Syrians were "incompetent and cowardly," the Soviets complained. The SAMS are mobile missiles. So what did the Syrians do?

On April 3, an Israeli embassy official in Paris named Ya'acov Barsimantov, who was said to be particularly well informed about P.L.O. activities in Europe, was fatally shot outside of his apartment by an unidentified woman.
