The Israeli air strikes are considered to be more effective against guerrillas than similar U.S. air strikes against the Viet Cong because the terrain is largely bare of vegeta- tion and offers few hiding places. On the other hand, Israeli auth- orities concede that the use of air power enhances the prestige of the guerrillas while exposing the inability of the established Arab governments to strike back. The guerrillas thereby gain in stature with the Arab masses.

The doctors, Nahib Muammer and Subhi Ghoshi, were rumored to have been tortured and other- wise mistreated by police. They appeared surprised by the rumors and told the mukhtars that they were well and needed nothing from home because they were in contact with their families. The "showing" was put on at the request of Mayor Teddy Kol- lek of Jerusalem to silence the tor- ture rumors and to convince the Arab leaders who did not believe that arms had been found in East Jerusalem homes.
