Question

Description acceptable. This military action caused the “Dovecote” and “Rock” plans to falter, in part because the “totality of the tank” doctrine failed to account for the suitcase-like Sagger missile launchers used during it. The popularity of this action led the “open door” policy of Law 43 to be styled as an “economic” successor to it. During the 8th annual parade celebrating this action, followers of the author of The Neglected Obligation pulled up in front of an honorary podium in a military (15[1])truck to throw (*) grenades (10[1])at its architect. The self-styled “hero” of this action was (10[1])mockingly asked “where’s our breakfast?” (-5[1])by protesters during the 1977 “bread (10[1])riots.” During this action, high-pressure water cannons blasted away sand walls. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, identify (10[1])this surprise attack (10[1])that opened the Yom Kippur War, (10[2]-5[2])in which Anwar Sadat’s army (10[1])breached the Bar-Lev Line and used pontoon bridges to enter Sinai. ■END■ (10[2]0[2])
