TELAVID DRUMS * GLEN BROWN ALL STARS * TECHNIQUES 921 * UK

It is possible that Telavid, which does not seem to be a real word, is a corruption or misspelling of Tel Aviv, or more fully: Tel Aviv-Yafo (תל אביב-יפו) a coastal city and also a metropolitan area in Israel. For a period of 8 months (May through December 1948) until the seizure of Jerusalem  it also served as the de facto capital of Israel. Though Israel subsequently designated Jerusalem to be its capital, that designation was regarded as a breach of international law and not accepted by the diplomatic community (with just two exceptions) nor by any international state organisations, all of whom continue to regard Tel Aviv as the de jure Israeli capital, as a result basing all their embassies and consulates there. The Congress of the United States recognized Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, but the president was given permission to prevent the moving of the US embassy from Tel Aviv. The mention of this coastal city in the title (if that's what it is) could relate to the Yom Kippur War which began on October 6, 1973 when the combined armies of Egypt and Syria were at war with Israel. A cease-fire agreement was signed by Israel and Egypt on October 24, 1973.
