Dear David, I came across this piece of information about Cubans in the Yom Kippur War that might be a starting point: "In 1978, The Economist published two articles in its “Foreign Report” which detailed the Cuban presence in Syria as beginning just after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. Cuban tank crews fought alongside the Syrians, according to the “Foreign Report,”and suffered 180 dead and 250 wounded. Israeli Defense Minister at time, Moshe Dayan, said in a U.S. television interview on March 31, 1974, that 3,000 Cuban troops were deployed in Syria as part of the Soviet military build-up (Facts on File Yearbook – 1974, Weekly World News Digest, Henry H. Schulte, Jr., ed. New York, April 6, 1974, page 257)." Source: http://acdemocracy.org/cubas-anti-israel-pro-plo-activities/ Diane Romm
