A Hebrew University spokesman said that a report issued earlier this month that more than half of the senior officers in the Israeli army take a “doveish” view was based on a study that was taken in 1971-72, almost two years before the Yom Kippur War, and among reserves officers only. The spokesman said the results, therefore, did not necessarily indicate the attitude of present army officers toward the Arab-Israeli conflict.
