...underscored when Soviet-made SA-2 missiles near the Suez Canal brought down a Phantom jet and an Israeli Skyhawk within half an hour of each other. The planes were the only ones to be destroyed by SA-2s since the Six-Day War other than a lone Piper Cub. The fact that Russia has apparently developed mobile platforms for the missiles, enabling Egypt to shift and hide them in an area that has been subjected to 25 consecutive days of bombing, convinced Israel that a temporary truce would be militarily devastating...

Her husband, whose last name literally means "son of a lion cub," was Israel's principal founder in 1948; he chose the name of the new country, served as its Premier for its first 15 years and, as "B-G," became a stern, uncompromising but well-loved father figure.
