1 11111111.01111.1111151111111 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 54 Friday, Marc 1, 1977 '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. ate gib a subscription to THE JEWISH NEWS - 17515 W: NINE MILE ROAD Suite 865 Southfield, Michigan 48075 THE JEWISH NEWS 17515 W. 9 Mile Rd.

"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.
