"Egypt loses eighty percent of its oil-producing capacity as two refineries and a number of storage tanks go up in flames. Israeli artillery set off the inferno in a three-hour exchange with Egyptian guns across the Suez Canal." Nighttime TLS/LSs massive fires at oil refinerie, firefighters doing not much more than watch on (nothing else to do). Oil containers set ablaze spewing clouds of thick smoke.
