THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Borders Tense After Air Clash (Continued from Page 1) Council in connection with the air raid by Israel, However, the Syrians did not ask for any action by the Security Council on the matter. In its communication, the Syrian delegation emphasized that Syria does not consider itself responsible for the sabo- tage activities against Israel by Arab infiltrators.) Syrian troop concentrations were seen by Israeli units build- ing up all during Saturday night along the border following the Israeli air strikes. , Truckloads of Syrian soldiers spotted pulling up close to the Israeli frontier and taking up positions opposite the Israeli settlements of Almagor and Tel Katzir. Intense air activity was also observed over Syrian air space during the night when two Syrian jets flew close to the Israeli border for several minutes. While last Friday Israel imme- diately accepted a plea by Gen Odd Bull for a cease fire along the border, Damascus had not yet responded to the plea. Observers noted that Israel's other neighboring Arab states confined themselves to express- ing solidarity with the Syrian government but failed to take any effective action such as de- claring a state of emergency or . reinforcing their border positions with Israel. This seemed to in- : dicate, the observers pointed out, that the neighboring Arab states realize that the Israeli action July 14 was only a one-time re- prisal measure against El Fatah terrorists and was not a major operation. In a radio interview broadcast by Kol Israel, the Israel radio network, Eban expressed the hope that the major powers would use their influence with the Damas- cus government to ease the ten- sion on the border and ensure peace. He also voiced the hope that the "state of equilibrium" achieved by the clashes alon g border would now be folloWe'd by "an equilibrium of peace." The Foreign Minister said that he was convinced that Israel's reaction to Syrian sabotage efforts against Israel had not weakened the effect of Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba's renewed peace plea, which Eban said, he hoped would eventually be taken up by other Arab states. Gen. Rabin said the clash July 14 was the first time that French made Mirage-3 jets had shot down Soviet-made MIG-21 jets. He said the clash lasted two minutes and was fought at low level by four Israeli jets. He said the shot-down 'yrian jet was hit by cannon fire rom an Israeli plane. He ridi- uled the Syrian report that two Israeli planes were shot down dur- ng the fight, emphasizing that all four jets returned to their bases in Israel. The Damascus Radio monitor- ed here Saturday lodged most of the blame for the Israeli air strike on "American imperial- ism" and called upon all other Arab states to break their diplo- matic ties with Washington. The clash developed when the Syrian Soviet-built MIGS attacked the Israeli planes which bombed and strafed trucks working on a project to divert Jordan River headwaters. All Israeli planes re- turned safely to their base. They also attacked an anti-aircraft bat- tery which opened fire on them during the strafing operation. Israel said the planes were sent into action following four saboteur efforts within the previous 48 hours by raiders from Syrian bases which cost the life of an Israeli civilian, and wounded two soldiers and one civilian. An Israeli spokesman said that the air raid was ordered after a long series of terrorist operations in Israeli territory, causing civilian deaths and casual- ties and destoying farm equipment. He declared that Israel's air action was aimed at making it clear to Syrian authorities the gravity Israel ascribed to the sabotage activities and killings, particularly the four actions in the past 48 hours. The raid was also intended, he said, to make it clear to the Syrians that quiet along the border which Israel seeks must prevail on both sides. According to the spokesman, the air assault was described as "highly successful." He said that the planes began to withdraw after completing their assignment when the four Syrian jets appeared. The pilot of the disabled MIG was seen to parachute down. The other Syrian jets then withdrew from contact, the spokesman said. He added that this was the first Israel reprisal raid carried out by air. Prior -to disclosure of the air raid, Israeli officials reacted with strong warnings to the United Na- tions here over the saboteur at- tacks from Syria. Israel authorities informed the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization of the gravity with which Israel viewed the "murder and sabotage" and that it placed full responsibility for the incidents on Syria. Yehoshua Levi, 42, of Tiberias, was killed July 13 when the com- mand car in which he was riding with two soldiers hit a mine near Almagor village, north of the Sea of Galilee about a half mile from the Syrian border. The blast hurl- ed one of the soldiers out of the car. His uniform caught fire. He was reported in critical condition in a Haifa hospital. The other sol- dier was slightly wounded. Levi, father of five children, was a Jew- ish National fund reclamation de- partment worker for 17 years. He was killed not far from the spot where two other JNF workers were killed in an incident two months ago. Later, a tractor working farther north, near Rosh Pina village, hit a mine, seriously wounding 15- year-old Yaron Landesman. He is a member of the Ayelet Hashahar kibbutz. Police found tracks lead- ing to the Syrian border from the sites of the mines. Three explosions rocked the vil- lage of Metullah, Israel's northern- most point in the upper Galilee mountains on the Lebanese border July 12, blowing holes in a build- ing. There were no casualties. The marauders came from Le- banon but were believed to have been Syrians who entered Lebanon and then infiltrated Israel to plant the explosives. In the fourth inci- dent, saboteurs believed to be Syrians set off an explosive charge under a house near Yuval on the Israeli-Syrian-Lebanese border causing damage to the house but no casualties. Gen. Bull was told by Tekoah that the saboteurs could not have crossed the armistice lines into Israel without the knowledge of personnel manning the Syrian bor- der posts lining the frontier. El Fatah Sabotage Attempt Quashed in Galilee Settlement (Direct .JTA Teletype Wire to The •Jewish News) TEL AVIV—A new sabotage at- tempt by members of the El Fatah terrorist group was foiled Tuesday night in Margaliot settlement in the Upper Galilee near the Leban- ese border. Watchmen heard an explosion in the direction of an unusued chicken coop and found six charges of explosives, one of them under a house in which seven people, in- cluding five children, were sleep- ing. Security forces dismantled all the explosives. Tracks of four persons were found leading to the Lebanese border. After a familiar sabotage incursion last year, Israeli army troops struck at two nearby Leba- nese villages near the border in a reprisal raid. Also on Wednesday, Syrian guns fired on an Israeli boat. Again, Is- rael lodged a complaint with the UN truce supervision organization. * * Friday, July 22, 1966-7 Security units were called. They found the tractor abandoned at the end of the vineyard and tracks of Erwin and another man near the tractor, leading to a main road in the area. The security officials said it appeared the kidnaper waited at the edge of the vineyard and forced the youth off the tractor at gunpoint.

As police and UN representa- tives began making inquiries at I the site where Erwin Owitz was seized, parents of the youth plan- ned a visit Wednesday to Jeru- salem to make a personal appeal to Premier Levi Eshkol for maxi- mum efforts for the return of their son. As police reconstructed the ab- duction, the infiltrators, who came from the Egyptian-controlled Gaza Strip, kidnaped the youth while he and a friend were spraying vines in the area of Ami Oz, the village where he lives.
