...make concessions at a time when Israel was aggressively pressing ahead with the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. In fact, the government of Prime Minister Menachem Begin may be quite pleased with the Arabs' continuing refusal to negotiate.

He called it "the right missile at the right time." The four-stage, 71-ft.-tall missile is designed to carry ten nuclear warheads, each only 5½ ft. long and 17 times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The weapon...
