a few bombs on the Aswan dams

Not that easy to breach an earthen dam...

See the film "Dam-busters"h to see how it was done to the two dams at the head of the Ruhr Valley in WWII

I'd think it would be easier than a concrete dam. If you can breach it at the top (where it's thinnest) down to the waterline, won't erosion do the rest?
