Successes Scored by Israel in Air Combat

Egyptians conceded the loss of

WWI: : destroyed two trucks, a
tank and all of the rockets in a
five-hour battle.
According to an Israeli military
spokesman the Jordan Valley ac-
tions occurred before midnight
sear Umm Sidra Pass where
seven' saboteurs were killed and
near Umm Tutz Pass where two
more lost their lives. He said the
attempted infiltration for sabotage
purposes apparently followed a
"green light" given by King Hus-
sein of Jordan to the guerrillas
once repairs were completed on
Jordan's East Ghor irrigation
canal. The canal was sabotaged
by Israeli commandos recently in
retaliation for attacks on Israeli
settlements from Jordan. Jordan
ian attacks tapered off afterwards
and Israeli gunners permitted Jor-
danian workmen to repair the
canal.
The spokesman said King Hus-
sein promised the guerrillas con-
tinued support but asked them to
establish bases in Israel-held ter-
ritory rather than attack Israel
from Jordanian bases. He said
large quantities of fire arms and
explosives were found with the
slain saboteurs.
Two Israeli settlements in the
northern Beisan Valley south of
Lake Tiberias were hit by Kat-
yusha' rocket fire Monday night.
The targets. Shaar Hagolan and
Deganya Bet, sustained some dam-
age but no casaulties were report-
ed.
Israeli security officials announc-
ed Tuesday that five Hebron Arabs
were arrested last week on charges
of plotting to detonate a carload
of explosives on a Jerusalem
street. According to the report.
Israeli authorities were tipped off
and a search in Hebron yielded
four caches of arms and explosives
and the alleged "death car." The
latter, it was said, was to have
been driven to a busy intersection
of Jerusalem. The explosives were
to have been detonated by a tim-
ing device. It was learned that one
of the Arabs arrested was suspect-
ed of having been involved in the
Mahneh Yehuda market bombing
in Jerusalem last year.
Israeli jet fighters shot down
two Egyptian MIG-2I jets in
a battle over the Sharm el
Sheildi stronghold at the en-
trance to the Gulf of Aqaba, Ac-
cording to Israeli forces, the en-
gagement began when Israeli
jets on patrol duty intercepted
four Egyptian MIGs. All Isaeli
planes were reported to have re-
turned safely to their bases.
In other action, an Israeli Army
officer was killed and two others
were wounded in a continuing
Egyptian artillery attack along the
Suez Canal. The fatality was Isra-
el's second in 24 hours in the Canal
Zone. A military spokesman said
the Egyptian fire was concentrated
south of Quantara and in the vi-
cinity of Port Tawfik at the
canal's southern access.
The El Fatah command in Am-
man claimed today that it had
foiled an attempt by "Israeli
agents" to assassinate El Fatah
leader Yassir Arafat. A state-
ment broadcast by Amman ra-
dio offered no evidence however
that an allegedly explosive-filled
parcel addressed to the guerrilla
commander originated with Is-
raelis.
The statement said that the par-
cel was delivered to the Amman
headquarters of Assifa. El Fatah's
military arm, by a messenger wear-
ing an Iraqi Army uniform with
the rank of lieutenant. The parcel
was found to contain a plastic
charge and a detonator and was
rendered harmless by an El Fatah
bomb squad, the statement said. It
added, "El Fatah has once again
foiled this latest attempt by Israeli

intelligence and their agents to
liquidate the leaders of the revo-
lution."
A high ranking Israeli military
officer assessed the situation
along the various cease-fire lines
and predicted "a long bet sum-
mer" especially in the Suez Ca-
nal sector. The officer, who pre-
ferred not to pe identified, said
Israel's recent commando sorties
against strategic targets deep in-
side Egypt were not retaliatory
attacks but measures taken to
discourage increased aggression
by the Egyptians. So far, they
have been successful.
The o'ficer said the situation on
the Lebanese border was quiet
despite the presence of 600-800
Arab guerrillas in southern Leba-
non. He said that if that border
"warmed up" appropriate counter-
measures would be taken.

WHAT ARE BELTED TIRES ...
AND DO YOU NEED THEM?
The family of belted tires consists of two types: A) the
Bias (criss-cross) ply with a belt; B) the Radial Ply (ply
structure radiating out from the center of the tire) with
a belt. In both cases the belt runs all the way around the
tire, the width of the tread. This tends to brace the tread
by adding a distortion-free "foundation" to the tread,
forcing the tire to roll "rounder" (and hence, more effici-
ently,) roll longer for better mileage, stop quicker, and
respond faster.
Both tires retain the elastic performance of the 2-ply
sidewall, yet possess a puncture resistant 4-ply tread area.
So, if you spend 50% or more of your time on high speed
roads, the slight extra cost can be justified by the in-
creased mileage, handling and safety.
When you think of belted tires, think of the company
who invented the idea in 1914. DUNLOP!
