With Israeli forces in Egypt: Israeli troops ride military vehicle over track-marked sands of Egypt 10/21. Israeli and Arab armies battled on two fronts 10/22 in fierce combat to gain ground before the superpowers' detente- saving deadline to end the 17-day 1973 Middle East War. The U.N. Security Council adopted a joint U.S.-Soviet resolution at 12:53 AM EDT 10/22 calling for an 'in place' cease-fire within 12 hours and Arab-Israeli talks toward 'a just and durable peace.'
