WASHINGTON (JTA )-
The United- States said that
Israel's use of American
military equipment in de-
fense of Christian villagers
in southern Lebanon from
the assaults of the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion did not violate any U.S.
law " or Israeli-American
, agreements.
Israeli Premier Menahem
Begin had said Israeli artil-
lery has shelled Palestinian
military groupings that
were focal points of attacks
on Christians near the Is-
raeli border.
State Department spokes-
man John Trattner said
that if Israel supplied the
Lebanese Christians with
U.S.-made rifles it would
constitute a violation of the
U.S. agreement with Israel.
But there would be no viola-
tion if Israel transferred to
the Christians weapons not
manufactured in the U.S.
