TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel de- manded through the International Red Cross Wednesday that Egypt return Maj. Nissim Ashkenazi, 30, an Israeli pilot who was captured after his jet fighter-bomber was shot down by Egyptian anti-aircraft fire near the Suez Canal Tuesday. Maj. Ashkenazi was flying an at- tack mission against Egyptian ar- tillery which had been shelling Israeli positions on the canal's East Bank near Al Shatt. An Israeli civilian was killed in the barrage. He was identified as Shimon Zar- fatti, 35, a father of four. An Israeli soldier. 22-year-old Moshe Sahrawi, was killed Tuesday by an Egyptian sniper near Kantara. Another soldier was wounded by a sniper Wednesday morning. The Israeli demand for the re- turn of Maj. Ashkenazi was handed to an IRC representative to for- ward to authorities in Cairo. But an Egyptian communique claimed that the Israeli pilot was seriously injured and was undergoing treat_ ment in a hospital. His fellow pilots who saw him bail out, said they were astonished by the re- port. They said they saw Maj. Ashkenazi land safely on Egyptian soil after ditching his burning plane and that he was standing on his feet which he could not have done if he were seriously wounded. They said he might have been injured by Egyptians after they captured him. It was noted here that Israel holds an Egyptian pilot of equal rank who bailed out of his SU-7 bomber over Israeli-held Sinai recently. It is possible that he will be exchanged for Maj. Ashkenazi, sources here said. The Suez Canal front was rela- tively quiet during Tuesday night except for sporadic fire from the Egyptian side. But two Israeli army patrols were attacked in the northern Golan Heights and near Kuneitra. They returned the fire and suffered no casualties. El Arish, the largest township on the Sinai peninsula, was placed under curfew Tuesday night after attacks on nearby Nahal Sinai and on the El Arish airstrip with Katyusha rockets. Several hundred local residents were questioned by police. An Israeli soldier was killed by an Egyptian sniper along the Suez Canal Monday, and Israeli units killed six Arab saboteurs in separate encounters Monday night and Tuesday morning in the Jordan Valley and the Gaza Strip. The latest casualty in the canal zone was Pvt. Sayid Franco. He was killed near the spot where 2nd Lt. Herman Mordecai lost his life Monday when explosives planted by Egyptian commandos damaged a water pipeline. A military spokesman said the Egyptians were trying to knock out the fresh water pipelines supplying Israeli troops on the canal's East Bank. The damaged pipe has been re- paired. A recent Israeli air raid damaged a fresh water pipeline linking the Nile with Port Said, and the Egyptians have since made two retaliatory attempts against the Israeli water supply, the spokesman said. He reported that three saboteurs were killed and 12 captured in a dawn skirmish with Israeli police near a Gaza refugee camp. One of the dead saboteurs was wanted for the murder three weeks ago of Shimon Levi, an employee of the Israel public works depart- ment. Levi was found shot to death in his car near a road construction site. Two of the captured sabo- teurs were wounded. Three other saboteurs were killed Monday night in a clash with an Israeli patrol along the Jordan River near Mandassah Bridge. One Israeli soldier was slightly wounded in the exchange of fire while the saboteurs were attempting to cross the river. Several bazooka shells were fired Tuesday morning at an Is- raeli patrol south of Kuneitra in the Golan Heights. Another patrol came under bazooka fire in the northern Golan Heights. Fire was returned in both instances and no casualties were sustained by the Israelis. No casualties or damage was reported. An explosive charge went off near the military gover- nor's house in Bethlehem Monday night without causing damage or casualties. It was the second ex- plosion in Bethlehem in two days. The first one slightly damaged the labor exchange office there. Eight Arab saboteurs were killed over the week-end in skirmishes with Israeli patrols. The Israeli units suffered no cas- ualties, a military spokesman reported. One of the guerrillas was killed Saturday night north of the Damiya bridge in the Jor- dan Valley. Five were killed Fri- day night near Shaar Hagolan in the Beisan Valley where they were setting up Katyusha rocket launchers, apparently to attack nearby Israeli settlements. Three members of the gang escaped but one of them is believed to have been wounded. Two sabo- teurs were killed Friday night in the Arava desert area south of the Dead Sea. Thirteen Israeli Arabs and three from the Gaza Strip living in Tira village were detained for question- ing Saturday following an explo- sion that damaged a poultry shed in Mar Hess Friday. Police dogs brought to the scene picked up a trail that led to Tira, many of whose Arab residents work in nearby Israeli settlements. In other fighting, an Israeli bor- der policeman was injured Satur- day when his patrol was fired on from Lebanese territory near Mal- kiyeh. Several mortar shells were fired Sunday at the banana planta- tions of Ashdod Yaacov in the northern Beisan Valley. Two ba- zooka shells were fired from Syr- ian territory early Sunday at an Army post in the northern Golan Heights. A woman was slightly injured Saturday when a bomb exploded on a crowded beach at Herzliya. A military spokesman disclosed that a cache of 150 mines, 50 hand grenades, explosives, Katyusha rockets, rifles and machine guns was discovered last week north of Ein Gedi near the Dead Sea. Arab commandoes made their second raid in 10 weeks on the Haifa oil refinery complex Aug. 14, setting explosions that dam- aged a crude oil pipeline and a high-tension power line. Fire- fighting units quickly extin- guished a blaze touched off by one of the blasts. The electric power pylon was not damaged, although the raiders managed to cut some wires. The wires were repaired within a few hours. The damaged pipeline is one which leads from the refineries to the crude oil terminal near the Haifa port. An explosive charge was placed near a control tap and after it was detonated, some oil leaked from the break. Repair was started immediately. Eight Arabs were arrested in the initial stages of the police investigation. All but two were released Sunday. The two still in custody were both seen in the area under suspicious circum- stances before the explosion oc- curred. One of them, an Israeli Arab from Galilee, said he had been invited by a contractor to work in the area but had gotten. lost and wandered in the vicinity of the refineries. In Washington, United States officials carefully followed reports of the latest Israeli air strike across the Suez Canal. Official Washington is interested because of the possibility that Soviet tech- nicians and members of the Soviet armed forces are manning the complex electronic and radar guidance equipment at the missile site hit by Israeli planes. Accord- ing to sources in Washington, the Israeli jet downed earlier in the day was hit by an S.A.M.2 missile of more advanced design than the "flying telegraph poles" fired at U.S. pilots over North Vietnam. (U.S. authorities acknowledged that the presence of Soviet mili- tary advisers and technicians in Egypt represented a potential source of escalation crisis. How- ever, the information available to the U.S. government was said to indicate that Soviet personnel have limited their activity to troop training. It was conceded that some of the "training" might be in progress at anti-aircraft posi- tions along the Suez Canal.) One hundred and fifty Arabs were detained for questioning in the aftermath of two explo- sions in a Jerusalem suburb which slightly injured a number of boys. The first explosion occurred an a residential building adjacent to a busy commercial center in Kiryat Yovel; the second an hour later among trees in the same neighborhood. The injured young- sters were part of a crowd that gathered after the first blast. They received first aid treatment but none required hospitalization. Most of the Arabs detained are from the occupied territories, police said. The suspects include a num- ber of women. Premier Golda Meir and De- fense Minister Moshe Dayan told separate audiences here that Israel is capable of contending with the present situation in- definitely. Mrs. Meir, addressing a luncheon of the Foreign Press Association, said Israel can with- stand the harassing guerrilla war waged against her by the Arabs because there is no other way. But, she said, the present situation is not as grave as the one that prevailed on the eve of the Six-Day War. She said Israel does not want a new war and the Arabs know that they can- not achieve results by all-out war against Israel. Gen. Dayan spoke to the Mont- real leadership mission of the United Jewish Appeal. He said Israel could bear up against the pressure on all fronts for a long time to come. He said that what worried Israel was not so much the presence of Soviet advisers in Egypt or the fact that they are training the Egyptians in the use of modern weapons. Israel's con- cern, he said, is that the Russians are advising the Egyptions on tac- tics and strategy. NEW CADILLAC? SEE or CALL. ANDY BLAU WILSON-CRISSMAN CADILLAC 1350 N.
