Jewish Area Begun in Hebron,
First Project in Occupied Land

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Construc-
tion work started this week on
Kiryat Arba, a residential quarter
for Jews in the West Bank town
of Hebron. The project, which has
aroused controversy in Israel, is
the first of its kind in any of the
Arab towns in territory occupied
by Israel during the June 1967 war.
It was undertaken by the gov
ernment under pressure from Orth-
odox elements, supported by the
hard-line Gahal faction which ad-
vocates Israel's permanent reten
tion of all of the occupied terri
tories. Factions opposed have
argued that the project would
compromise Israel's bargaining
position in future negotiations with
the Arabs.
Hebron, the site of the Patri-
archs Tomb which Orthodox Jews
consider sacred, has had no per-
manent Jewish population sine
1936. Since 1967, it has been under
the jurisdiction of the Israeli mili-
tary government for the Judea
Region.
Two years ago, a group of Orth.

odox families squatted in the
town and defied military govern-
ment orders to leave. Subsequent-
ly, they were moved inside the
military government compound,
but they have been agitating for
permanent housing.
The disclosure that work on
the project has begun was made
Monday by Dr. Zerach Warhaf-
tig, minister of religious affairs,
who dedicated a ritual bath for
Orthodox women.

_

Dr. Warhaftig said the occa-
sion was an opportunity to send
Premier Golda Meir "living greet-
ings" from Jewish settlers in Heb-
ron on the eve of her departure for
the United States.
Mrs. Meir has supported the
Hebron project, but claimed that
she was not foreclosing the return
of the area to the Arabs under
terms of some future peace treaty.
Mrs. Meir has said that once a
genuine peace was established,
there was no reason why Jews
could not live in Hebron even if it
is outside of Israel.

Israeli Supertanker Reported
Damaged 'by Russian Freighter

In a special article in the De-
troit News, its military analyst,
Col. R. D. Heinl Jr., stated that
"a principal Arab objective in the
effort to annihilate Israel has long
been to sever or constrict sea-
borne communications."
His article reveals that a Rus-
sian freighter collided with and
seriously damaged the 240,000-ton
Israel supertanker, the Aquarius,
and the suspicion is that it may
have been aimed 'deliberately. The
tanker is now under repair.

On Sept. 12, Israel quietly ',re-
leased 14 Egyptian sailors who
were picked up in distress off
Haifa when their ship caught fire.
Israelis consider such occur-
rences trivial and routine actions,
but in view of the hijacking this
assumed special significance.
The Egyptians were crewmen on
the Greek ship Christina Marina
which had to be abandoned: "They
were picked up from two lifeboats
by Israel coastal patrols who inter-
rogated and released them.
