Russ Resupply of Arms
to Arabs 'Awesome'
(Continued from Page 1)
"Awesome evidence of So-
viet resupply of materiel to
the Egyptians was every-
where, the congressmen re-
ported. "From Cairo to the
Suez Canal the subcommittee
saw endless emplacements of
missiles and columns of
tanks, trucks and other mili-
tary equipment. There was
not a kilometer between
Cairo and the Canal that had
not been fortified."
The Egyptians had placed
great stress on deception in
the initial movements, and to
a great extent it worked.
"Israeli sources indicate they
were aware of Egyptian troop
movements on the west side
of the canal, but assumed
these were regular army
training maneuvers. Yet the
Egyptians were able to move
substantial numbers of
troops, perhaps 70,000 or
80,000, plus substantial tanks
and trucks, into the canal
area undetected," the report
said. Some cover was pro-
vided by construction of large
earthenworks, concealing ve-
hicles and personnel.
Details of the crossing,
said the congressmen, were
provided by their Egyptian
hosts in a booklet filled with
color photographs. Every
member of the subcommittee
received a copy.
The Israelis admitted to
the delegation that "they
were aware of the Arab ac-
tions of moving troons but
misread Arab intentions.
When the Arabs moved air-
craft forward, they assumed
it was to be in the defensive
cover of the SAM missiles.
When the Russians evacuated
Damascus and other areas,
they thought it was because
the Soviets desired to have
no part in the Arab action.
Actually, they now conclude
it was just the opposite—the
Russians had prepared every-
thing and were leaving as ac-
tion commenced."
Gen. David Elazer, chief of
staff of the Israeli armed
forces, said they had seen
the Arab preparation for war
but did not believe they
would attack. At 4 a.m. on
Oct. 6, he was warned that
the first strike would come
at 6 p.m. The Israelis started
to mobilize at 10 a.m.; the
Syrians and Egyptians at-
tacked simultaneously at 2
p.m.
The fact that the attack
came on Yom Kippur held an
unexpected advantage, the
delegation was told. Because
all Israelis were either at
home or at the synagogue,
"it was easier to contact
tact them than would other-
wise have been the case.
Many rabbis announced in
synagogue that men would
report to their units follow-
ing services."
"Historically," the con-
gressmen's report said, "there
have been three bases of Is-
raeli military strength: a
good air force, good armor
and rapid mobilization cap-
ability.
"This time the Arabs had
SAMs to counterattack the
good air force, incredible
quantities of antitank missiles
to counteract the good armor,
and a surprise attack that
took effect before the Israelis
could mobilize."
The delegation, who sub-
mitted their report to the
House Armed Services Com-
mittee, noted there were
