'Rejection Front' Palestinians
Defeated in Lebanese Fighting
BEIRUT — Militant
Palestinians who oppose
a peaceful settlement
with Israel were reported
Wednesday to have been
defeated by rival Pales-
tinian groups in two days
of fighting in Nabatiye, a
Lebanese town nine miles
from Israel.
According to police
sources, all offices there
of the so-called "rejection
front" have been oc-
cupied by members of Al
Fatah and- its allies, the
Democratic Front for the
Liberation of Palestine
and the Syrian-backed As
Saiqa.
The action came after
two days of street fight-
ing betWeen the three
groups and "rejec-
tionists," hard-liners who
negotiations
refuse
under any circumstances
with Israel.
The fighting in Nabatiye
-
was said to have resulted
from a decision by Al.
Fatah's leadership to deal
firmly with elements dis-
rupting Palestinian unity.
The decision was made
after clashes between the
"rejectionists" and .Syrian
troops around Palestinian
camps near Beirut last
month.
Sunday, Syrian opposi-
tion stalled the chances of
sending UN forces to help
stop the fighting.
Lebanese authorities
were reported to have fa-
vored expanding from 40
to 400 the UN observers
along the 1949 armistice
line with Israel and using
this force as a cover for
the entry of Arab peace-
keeping troops to the
area.
But a pro-Syrian news-
paper said "calling for in-
ternational police is out of
the question."
Sinai Settlements
Getting Water
YAMIT (ZINS) — This
town of 350 families and a
chain of .military agricul-
tural settlements in the
northeast corner of the
Sinai have recently been
linked to Israel's national
water supply network.
The entire region is de-
signed as a security belt
to prevent enemy ad-
vancement through the
desert to the Gaza strip.
The World Zionist Or-
ganization, which spon-
sors land settlement, has
requested Israeli gov-
ernment authorization
for 15 Villages in addition
to the present 15.
By 1982, 2,000 Israeli
families are expected to
be harvesting winter
crops of fruits and vege-
tables for European mar-
kets, according to David
Nahmias, regional direc-
tor of the organization's
settlement department.

Most Technical Sinai Violations
Made by Israel, Congress Told
WASHINGTON — Is-
rael committed most of
the 28 technical viola-
tions registered in the
Sinai buffer zone, the di-
rector of the U.S. Sinai
support mission told Con-
gress recently.
"Most of the violations
we recorded were Israeli
violations," William Kon-
tos told a House interna-
tional relations subcom-
mittee public hearing.
"We have some indication
that some of the aircraft
violations emanated from
the Egyptian side," Kon-
tos said. But he added
"This is only a probabil-
ity."
Kontos said the early
warning system, estab-
lished to ensure Israel
and Egyptian compliance
with the Sinai II accord,
has been activated 28
times. "Of the 28 viola-
tions, 18 have been air-
craft overflights, eight
were surface violations,
and two concerned disal-
lowed weapons," Kontos
said.
Kontos said both Israel
and Egypt violated the
weapons limitations once.
But both countries re-
moved the weapons
promptly, he said. Kontos
said he did not have a
specific breakdown of Is-
rael or Egyptian viola-
tions, but would provide it
for the record later.
