recent wave of rocket attacks on
the potash plant at Sdom on the
south shore of Dead Sea.
The armored unit was sunoorted
by Israeli Air Force jets in o"era-
lions that kept them on Jordanian
soil for some 20 hours. A military
snokesman announced that the
force returned to its base at 2 n.m.
local time Wednesday without sus-
taining casualties or damage to its
equipment.
He said f ive saboteurs were
killed in a clash near the Jordan-
ian village of El Saffi and that a
number of vehicles bearing El
Fatah insirmia. including an armed
jeep were damaged.
Defence Minister Moshe Pavan
said Wednesday that Israeli ac-
tion against Jordan is restricted
because of Political considera-
tion. He said that both Jordan
and Israel are supported by the
U.S., "and we may face a diffi-
cult situation along the Jordan-
ian frontier."

Beisan Valley, who are demanding
action to halt the almost daily at-

rejected a sur=r, ostion that Israeli
forces wive the Gilead Heights fac-

But he pledged that Israel's
armed forces would do their ut-
most to protect life and pron-rty
in the Beisan and Jordan valleys.
He blamed saboteur activities pri-

Referring to the Political restric-

defense minister said "Along our

where the Russians are, we have
more freedom of action than
against Jordan."

plant at Sdom came under heavy
attack by Soviet-made Katyusha
rockets just after midnight Mon-
day. There were no casualties but
some damage was sustained and
