Syrian guns guard Road to Damascus by Gerald Clark free press correspondent on the syrian font we Are standing on the main Road to Damascus 10 Miles in Side Syria and Only 25 Miles from the capital itself. An israeli tank rumbles along White letters painted crudely on its Muddy Side there is a god. Forward to it is a dramatic gesture and the tank commander leans out of his Turret to wave. But per haps he is unrealistic for while the Road is paved it is narrow and More tellingly it is rough indeed. Only two Miles farther along a Hill called Tel israelis is Shams held by under fire from syrian batteries the same kind of heavy guns that can cover the Road itself. Two israeli skyhawk fighter bombers come in for a Low sweep their screech is terrifying and the Flash from their rockets is clearly visible. The syrian guns fall silent but Only for moments. Then they resume firing or is that the sound of other enemy artillery this is a strange unpleasant stretch of Road. Before you reach it you visualize a kind of readily definable front line with nothing to halt an and Van c e through this Barren Messy Countryside rocks ainu leathery soil. The Road As far As Kun Citra which Marks the end of the Golan Heights or rather the verges to the Road and the adjacent ground is strewn with the debris of shattered syrian tanks by the score.

Where we stand the Fields Are dotted with pock marked rocks warnings of the lava Fields Only a few Hundred metres ahead. This is a dead volcanic area and All wrong for tanks so the israelis if they want to reach Damascus Are going to have to keep their Armor from the open spaces and Roll along this Road and it is hardly wider than a country Road in North Ameri Ca. More important it is within Range of syrian guns and who knows what else. Some syrian tanks remain despite the unmistakable and formidable defeat they suffered. And so one questions whether the israelis will Send their centurions and Sherman Forward. They have already made it Clear in official briefings for the press that the first goal is to spare lives.
