UN, on the Borders
east of the Jordan Valley. Israeli
military circles estimated Jordan-
ian army casualties at 100 dead
and a total of 40 tanks destroyed.
Israeli troops withdrew from the
Jordanian east bank area after 20
hours of fighting to destroy bases
used by El Fatah and other ter-
rorist gangs for sabotage incur-
sions against Israel. The first
units returned to their bases some
12 hours after the action began,
their objectives achieved. Official
casualty figures were 21 Israeli
troops killed and 70 injured, most
of them not seriously.
The list of Israeli war dead
included one captain, three lieu-
tenants, several sergeants and
other non-commissioned officers
as well as privates. Among the
latter was 20-year-old Benzion

was killed in Israel's war for
independence in 1948, the year
young Netter was born.
(The New York Times reported
from Amman Sunday that King
Hussein declared that neither he
nor his government "would accept
responsibility for the safety of
Israel or the security of Israeli
forces" occupying Jordanian terri-
tory on the West Bank. The king
also said that about 50 people were
killed at Karameh. "Newsmen
found Arab commandos still in
control at the camp there," the
Times reported, adding that King
Hussein reported 30 "commandos"
and about 60 civilians dead
throughout the Jordan Valley and
claimed that Israeli casualties
"must have exceeded 200.")
(Christian Science Monitor cor-
respondent John Cooley reported
from Beirut that "there is a real
risk now, qualified observers be-
lieve, that the militant Palestine
element will take over effective
leadership of what remains of
Jordan" as an aftermath of the
Israeli attack. "Arab military tac-
ticians are beginning to believe
that Algerian and Syrian theories
on the value of permanent guerrilla
warfare may be substantially cor-
rect," Cooley wrote. He added
that "one aim of Arab propaganda
media will be to discourage pros-
pective Jewish immigrants which
Zionist organizations are seeking."
(A dispute developed here sud-
denly between Israel and the
chief of the United Nations
cease-fire observer corps, Lt.
Gen. Odd Bull, when Gen. Bull
tried to revive the Israel-Jor-
dan mixed armistice commission
which Israel considers defunct.
(Gen. Bull, with no advance no-
tice, reportedly called representa-
tives of Israel and Jordan to an
emergency session of the commis-
sion on Friday on Israel's action
against terrorist bases in Jordan.
Israel rejected the general's re-
quest on grounds that the 1949
armistice agreements ceased as<`..,
a result of the Six-Day War and
were superceded by the present
ceasefire pacts arranged under UN
Security Council aspects.)
Gen. Chaim Bar - Lev, Israel's
chief of staff, told newsmen that
the operation was not a reprisal
nor a retaliation raid but one with
a single objective—to eliminate the
centers and members of the Arab
terrorist gangs. He said Israel had
hoped that, after the last prior
action on Feb. 15—which brought
a pledge from Jordan's King Hus-
sein that he would bar his terri-
tory from use for such guerilla
