...discourage Gamal Abdel Nasser from continuing his "war of attrition," Israel has been bombing targets deep inside Egypt since the beginning of the year. Though the raids are directed at military installations, there has always been the possibility that Israeli napalm or antipersonnel bombs would cause civilian casualties.
