Downing of 4 Egyptian MIGs Part
of Plan to Hobble Arab Defense

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel Air
Force jets shot down four Egyp-
tian MIG-21s in a dogfight over
the Suez Canal Wednesday and
continued to pound radar stations
and artillery positions in the south-
ern and central section of tho
waterway.
Tuesday. Israeli jets attacked
military targets some 20 miles
west of the canal for nearly five
hours and returned to the same
targets for an hour Tuesday night.
The objective of the stepped-up
air attacks is to prevent the re-
deployment of Egyptian ground-to-
air missiles. Sources here have
said that Israel intends to keep
up the attacks to prevent the in-
stallation of the new Soviet SAM-3
missile defense systems along the
Suez Canal line.
No mention was made of SAM
missile sites deeper in Egypt. Is-
raeli sources say Russian crews
are erecting an Egyptian antiair-
craft defense line based on the
SAM-3s around strategic areas
such as Alexandria, Cairo and the
Russian-built Aswan High Dam.
Wednesday's "kills" in the dog-
fight over the canal brought to 80
the number of Egyptian aircraft
downed since the June 1967 war.
Cairo denied the loss of any
planes, but a military spokesman
here said four Russian-built inter-
ceptors were shot down within
five minutes after they took to
the air to challenge the Israeli
bombers.
He said two of the Egyptian
pilots were seen bailing out. All
Israeli planes returned safely
frotin their missions.
Three Arab saboteurs were
killed Tuesday night in a clash
with an Israeli patrol near the
Lebanese border. There were no
Israeli casualties. A Russian-made
Samoval submachine gun was
found near the bodies. Earlier,
Zariit settlement was fired on
from Lebanese territory but no
casualties were reported.
Two Israeli civilians were killed
and 11 injured Monday morning in
a mine incident on a Sinai road
junction. The two civilians were
identified as Zadok Salman, 43,

and Claude Levi, 33, of Beersheba,
both of them fathers of three
children. Levi was killed when a
road grader he was operating hit
a mine near the Bir Hasanah road
junction.
A short time later a pickup
truck- hit another mine in the same
area killing Salman and injuring
11 other occupants of the truck,
five of them seriously.
Israel Air Force jets attacked
an Egyptian radar station at Bal-
tim in the Nile Delta Monday and
returned safely to base. A military
spokesman said the radar station
was attacked by Israeli bombers
about six weeks ago but was re-
paired by the Egyptians, neces-
sitating a second attack.
Two Israeli civilians and three
local Arabs were injured when a
hand grenade exploded in Gaza's
main street Wednesday morning.
Several suspects have been de-
tained for questioning. The two
Israelis were delivering dairy
products to a Gaza store when
the explosion occurred. They
were hospitalized in Ashkelon,
and the Arabs were taken to a
local hospital.
Last week a number of Arab
students boycotted classes in the
Gaza Strip to mark the second an-
niversary of Israel's attack on the
Arab guerrilla base at Karzmeh,
Jordan. A grenade exploded at
a secondary boys school in Gaza.
but no casualities were reported.
An earlier grenade blast killed
a 70-year-old Arab woman and
wounded two others in the Jaba-
liya refugee camp, south of Gaza.
Arab residents of the area have
been victims of recent terrorist
attacks as commando organizations
attempt to halt cooperation be-
tween Israelis and Gaza citizens.
One Arab was fatally wounded
and 'another Arab and two Is.
raelis were injured when a gren-
ade exploded in a bus in Falas-
tin Square in downtown Gaza
Sunday morning. All four were
hospitalized. The dead man was
identified as a laborer from a
refugee camp.
Ten Arab guerrillas were killed
last Saturday in an encounter with

Israel Tourist Growth Foreseen;
Minister Kol Describes Progress

The attempt of the Arab terror-
ists to cut off Israel frOm the
world is a complete failure, Israel
Tourist Minister Moshe Kol de-
clared at a Capital for Israel din-
ner Tuesday at Bnai Moshe.
"Israel is becoming a world cen-
ter of tourism," he said.
Foreseeing a 60 to 70 per cent
increase in tourism in the next
year or two, Kol said last month
was the busiest February on rec-
ord in the Israel tourist industry,
and 36 per cent ahead of Febru-
ary. 1969. He stated:
"Contracts to invest nearly
$80,000.600 for new tourist facil-
ities have been signed. A new tour-
ist center is planned near Netanya.
A Hilton hotel will be built in
Jerusalem. Near l y 3,000 hotel
rooms are being added now and
5,000 more are planned.
"We are planning a new tourist
resort at Sharm el Sheikh, that
vital area which touched off the
Six-Day War. We have four seas
to swim in—the Red Sea, the Dead
Sea, the Sea of Galilee and the
Mediterranean Sea. We have snow
on Mount Hermon and water
skiing at Elat. Perhaps, some
day, King Hussein will join us in
organizing water sports between
Eilat and Aqaba.
"With one hand we are defend-

' ing our land and with the other
hand we are building Israel. Peace
must come and will come but we
will not compromise our security.
If Willie Brandt of West Germany
can talk to Willie Soph of East
Germany, why can't Nasser talk
to Golda Meir. Pharoah talked to
Moses . . ."
Norman Allan, general chairman
of the Detroit Capital for Israel
Committee, was the chairman of
the dinner. On the program were
Rabbis Moses Lehrman and Leon
F r a m, Basil Kosarin, honorary
secretary of the Detroit Israel
Tourist Committee; and Louis E. ,
Levitan, Detroit CFI representa-
tive, who, announced the subscrip-
tions.
"The answer to Arab terrorism
is to increase tourism," said Lev-
itan.
Capital for Israel is offering pre-
ferred shares of the Tourist In-
dustry Development Corporation,
which was organized at the request
of the Israel government to ex-
pand and build hotels and other
tourist facilities.
The $100,000,000 tourist indus-
try is Isriel's fastest growing
source of foreign exchange, even
surpassing citrus sales, Levitan
said. The shares yield 7 per cent
in dividends, earned quarterly and
paid semi-annually.
