...terrorists and one Israeli policeman died in the action. Coincidentally, Shaul Weizman, 26, the son of Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, who was later called home from a visit to Washington because of the attack, happened to be walking along the beach with an army colonel in the area of the gun battle. Weizman and the colonel grabbed their weapons (it is not unusual for Israelis to carry weapons) and helped capture two of the terrorists. By that time, heavily armed Israeli troops had moved into the region in force. Police clamped a curfew on northern Tel Aviv and launched...
...Their main concern is the 60 advanced F-15 fighterbombers intended for the Saudis. In hopes of getting both the Saudi and the Egyptian sales past Congress, the White House has included them in a package deal with the planes for Israel.

Washington wags were already debating whether Begin would get the same treatment, including a Camp David weekend, as Sadat.

At the outset, nobody was particularly optimistic, but in three days of talks the delegates narrowed the gap toward a Sinai settlement. The Egyptians reportedly suggested that the Israelis could keep their settlements in the Rafah salient of the northern Sinai for a limited time (the exact period to be decided later), as part of a U.N. buffer zone...
