The official thinking here is that Israeli jets are keeping the Egyptians on the defensive. Without this pressure, officials here state, Egyptian leaders would be ready for war.
Thus the Israeli raids into the Nile Valley are considered as defensive, and any weapons capable of stopping them, such as the highly mobile, SAM‐3's. would be considered by the Is raelis to be offensive.
The challenge presented by the movement of SAM‐3 mis siles into Egypt is regarded as considerable both to Israel and the Soviet Union.
According to the senior Is raeli officer, the SAM‐3 missile has never been used in combat, “not even in Vietnam.” It has a range of about 12 miles, and a top speed of about twice that of Israel's best interceptor, the Mirage.
Operating successfully along the Suez Canal, SAM‐3 missiles would form a costly barrier for Israeli jets to penetrate.
Soviet bloc officials will be greatly interested in the SAM‐3's performance, especially its elec tronic reliability. It was this aspect of the SAM‐2 that failed —or that Israeli experts were able to overcome—that enabled the Israelis to penetrate deep inside Egyptian territory.

PHOTO BY JILL GOSCHE Lori Rombach (left), Calvert's volleyball coach, talks to her team before practice at the high school Monday afternoon.
Volleyball is just a sport — to some of us.
To Lori Rombach, it’s a passion and something she’s loved for many years dating back to her playing days at Calvert in the early 90s.
From then to now, one thing has been a constant for her — volleyball.
The first-year Calvert coach has led the Senecas to their first state appearance in program history. They will play Portsmouth Clay today at noon in a Division IV semifinal.
The love of volleyball has always been there for Rombach, who played at John Carroll. But it wasn’t really her best sport in high school.
“I feel blessed and it’s an honor to be able to lead this team,” she said. “This is the first year I’ve been doing varsity. All the years I was in middle school and lower, it was a good experience and it was important, but all the years I was at that level I aspired to be with a group that was older. Having played in c...
Rombach said she still plays volleyball in a women’s league at St. Mary’s and has coached her daughter Kate since she was in fourth grade.
Kate is a key contributor on the team this season and has made some clutch kills and blocks in the tournament run for the Senecas.
When asked how she separates being a mother and a coach to Kate, she admitted it hasn’t been very difficult.
Senior Lexie White said as soon as she knew Rombach was hired as the new coach, special things would happen to the program. Maybe not this quick, though.
“I’ve known Lori for quite a while. My sister Emma and Kate were on the same team, so I’ve kind of seen the outside side of Lori, her watching games and her intensity,” she said. “I knew once she got the job she would carry that over and she has. I love the intensity that she brings like that. She keeps us all excited ...
Rombach knows how to get the most out of her players on the floor, especially in key situations when the Senecas have trailed or in a close set.
Rombach added: “I feel like during the regular season, I didn’t have that mentality, but during the tournament run I’ve talked with many veteran coaches that I’ve reached out to and they kept telling me that every point matters at this point,” she said. “It’s really true. The team that makes the lowest amount of mistak...
One of those senior leaders is Sophie Burtis, who said she loves how invested Rombach is during a match. She said Rombach is right there with them with energy and passion, which fuels the girls on the court.
“She is awesome. She does a great job of keeping us involved, while also having fun and she knows that we are high school girls, we want to have fun, but she also knows how to motivate us,” Burtis said.
Rombach said she knows she’s doing the right thing by coaching volleyball and it’s safe to say the Senecas players and community agrees with the historic run this season.
Needless to say, the focus and attention will be there today against the Panthers. But this will be one instance Rombach wishes time doesn’t go by fast.

Ken Regan's photos take you backstage and behind the scenes during Bob Dylan's legendary 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour.
Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue of 1975 was unlike any other tour in rock history. His newest album at the time was Blood on the Tracks, and he could have easily packed arenas all over the country, but he opted to play a series of tiny theaters with old friends Joan Baez, Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Roger McG...
Along for the wild ride was the late photographer Ken Regan, who shot over 14,000 images. Only a tiny portion of them have ever been seen by the public, but selections from his archives can be seen in the new book Rolling Thunder: Photographs by Ken Regan, which you can buy right here. Here's a look at some incred...
Bob Dylan and Bette Midler recorded a duet on the Blood on the Tracks tune "Buckets of Rain" in October of 1975. He wanted her to take part in the Rolling Thunder Revue, but she didn't wind up signing up for the crazy trip.
Shortly before launching the Rolling Thunder Revue, Bob Dylan began hanging out in Greenwich Village clubs. He met Patti Smith and they formed a tight bond that lasted for decades.
Original posters and flyers from the Rolling Thunder Revue are now highly collectible. Here's Dylan approving one of them.
Midler's "Buckets of Rain" cover appeared on her 1976 LP, Songs for the New Depression.
The backstage accommodations at the theaters on the Rolling Thunder Revue were a far cry from what Dylan experienced on his 1974 arena and stadium tour with the Band.
The Rolling Thunder Revue set list mixed in Sixties folk-era classics like "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" with newer songs like "Tangled Up in Blue" and "Romance in Durango."
At the end of the night, all the performers would come onstage for "Knockin' on Heaven's Door."
Dylan often wore masks and face paint during the Rolling Thunder Revue period. The disguises tied into the complex plot of Renaldo and Clara, though at the time they merely confused many in Dylan's orbit.
Muhammad Ali visited Dylan backstage when the tour reached Madison Square Garden.
Shortly before launching the Rolling Thunder Revue, Dylan became aware of the plight of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, who was in prison for a murder he claimed he didn't commit.
Every night on the Rolling Thunder Revue, Bob Dylan sang a passionate rendition of "Hurricane" and implored the crowd to lobby for the release of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, whom Dylan said was racially profiled and unlawfully tried and convicted.
For many on the Rolling Thunder Revue, the tour doubled as a nonstop party. Here, Dylan and friends enjoy some downtime in Newport, Rhode Island.
Dylan and many of the Rolling Thunder gang shoot a scene for Renaldo and Clara in Rhode Island.
In one of the most memorable scenes from Renaldo and Clara, Dylan and Allen Ginsberg visit Jack Kerouac's grave.
Dylan suits up for a visit to the iconic landmark.
The gang prepares to take on Niagara Falls.
Once he actually reached the falls, Dylan ditched the hood.
The day after playing the Springfield Civic Center, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Thunder gang visited Mama Frasca's Dream Away Lodge in Becket, Massachusetts.
During downtime from the tour, Dylan jams with Roger McGuinn and Gordon Lightfoot.
The hat Dylan is wearing in this photo appears on the cover of Desire. The story behind the beagle remains a mystery.
Dylan's vocals have rarely been as passionate and intense as they were on the Rolling Thunder Revue.
The New York folk haunt the Other End became a key hangout for Dylan in the weeks leading up to Rolling Thunder. Here he is at the club with Ronee Blakley.
Dylan played entire sets in white face paint during the tour.
Dylan reads the incredibly obscure 1968 New Age book Crystal Magick by Carlyle A. Pushong.
The purpose behind Dylan's makeup has never been fully explained, though there are heavy rumors that the Dylan camp was prepping an extensive documentary of the tour. Such a film might shed light on some of Rolling Thunder's enduring mysteries.

JAN VERTONGHEN insists there is no truth in rumours he wanted to leave Tottenham to join Barcelona.
Vertonghen, who moved to Spurs from Ajax in July 2012, has just been offered a new five-year deal at White Hart Lane.
But Vertonghen said: "Rumours will always be there, but I just go back to Tottenham.
New boss Mauricio Pochettino has already bolstered his back line with the signings of Ben Davies and Michel Vorm while first-choice goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has penned a new five-year contract.
Vertonghen, who has not yet returned to pre-season training following his exploits at this summer's World Cup, is also set to commit his future to Tottenham.
He added: "I still had a four-year contract but I see that they have offered me a new five-year contract as a great sign of confidence.
"It goes without saying that I would like to stay at Tottenham."
GAVAN HOLOHAN impressed on his debut, as the midfielder earned Hartlepool United a point at Aldershot.
Trailing to a tenth-minute goal, Pools levelled on 80 minutes through Holohan on his first-start.
The Irishman signed a short-term contract until the end of the season and boss Craig Hignett had vowed last week to give him a chance to impress.
That opening in the team came with Liam Noble absent through illness and Holohan made the most of his chance.
“Gavan has done well, he’s been patient and deserved a start. He had an effect on the game and I’m pleased for him,’’ said Hignett.
Twelve months ago, Pools relegated Torquay United to National League South after a 1-1 draw and Aldershot suffered the same fate. The Gulls were promoted back to the National League on Saturday.
The Shots have only won twice since November, but they took the lead when a shot from Bernard Mensah was blocked and Reece Grant tapped in.
Pools had actually started the brighter with Holohan and Nicke Kabamba going close before conceding.
Peter Kioso crossed for Kabamba to head wide, before Pools almost went two-down – Grant missing from close range when it was easier to score.
Pools did get better in the second-half after Nicky Featherstone’s shot was blocked.
Luke James could have scored on the break, and Luke Molyneux went close before Holohan netted.
Hignett added: “I think a draw was fair. First half we were… alright and conceded first again. Score first and we win, but second-half we were in control and created a lot of chances without converting them.
“We need to be a bit more ruthless and we know where we need to get better. The lads tried, put a shift in and kept going. A defeat would have been a travesty.
“the nature of conceding the goal was disappointing. We were on top and comfortable and we didn’t cut out the move and defend well.
“Concede the first goal every game and you are always asking a lot to score two or three every game.
