Egyptian military targets in the Suez Canal zone intermittently for 2'2 hours Sunday afternoon and returned safely to their bases. The heavy death toll in the canal zone following Friday's bus ambush slaying made this one of the blackest weekends in Israel's history. Four other Israeli soldiers were wounded. A military spokesman identified . the dead as Major Dan Shani, 34, of Moshav Asheret; Lieutenants Pinhas Teitelbaum, 24, of Giva- tayim and David Eisen, 21, of Hai- fa; Corp.

But he told the settlers to "take a deep breath" because not all problems could be solved overnight. He told one mother, "You shall bring your children up and we shall do every- thing possible to protect their lives." The nature of the new de -ense measures was not disclosed. Some Israel's strategy sources said would be to force the terrorists to move their bases much further than they are now behind the Lebanese border. This would increase the distance they would have to tra- verse in order to attack Israeli border settlements or set up am- bushes. In this connection one ob- server recalled an Israeli threat to create a six-mile wide no-man's- land inside the Lebanese border for its entire length. Such a plan would necessarily entail Israeli oc- cupation of the area. Seven Israeli Soldiers Killed by Egyptian Artillery Shell Fired on Military Mess Hall TEL AVIV (JTA) — Seven Is- raeli soldiers, including a major and two lieutenants, were killed last Saturday when an Egyptian artillery shell scored a direct hit on a military mess hall on the east bank of the Suez Canal.

Israel air force jets attacked Egyotian targets in the Suez Canal zone for 35 minutes beginning at noon Tuesday and returned safely to their bases. An Israeli soldier was killed Monday and another was wounded Monday night in ex- changes of fire with Egyptian forces across the canal.

A military snokesman said Tues- day that the silencing of Egyptian artillery along the Suez Canal was one of the main assignments of the Israel air force. He said daily sor- ties were necessary because the Egyptians were continuously shift- ing their gun positions. A spokes- man said that Israeli planes have carried out 14 attacks in the past few days. Two of the raids were not on the canal zone but against Safaga, an Egyptian naval base 350 kilo- meters south of the canal. The raid took place last Saturday but were not announced at the time. There are still no details available. A military spokesman said only that the objectives were limited and that the attacks were not against naval targets. In contrast to their artillery barrages, Egyptian air and ground raids on Israeli positions in the Sinai Peninsula have been ineffec- tive, the spokesman said. Six Egyp- tian planes have been shot down over Sinai in recent attacks and heavy casualties were inflicted on Egyptian commandos.
