National Guardsmen in Da mascus had a fine time stopping all traffic on the city's wide boulevards and ordering everyone to take shelter-even though nothing more ominous appeared in the sky than a few vultures. In Israel, though it was the Sabbath, on which traveling is a profanation to the Orthodox, students from Talmudic academies jumped into trucks bound...
