Terrorist Attack
Report a Hoax
TEL AVIV (JTA) — After
a 24-hour search in the
Ashdod-Ashkelon area,
police concluded that the
report that terrorists had
landed on the southern Is-
rael coast was a hoax.
The cruel hoax began
when an employe of the Is-
raeli Agricultural Export
Company (Agrexco) heard
someone saying over the
company car radio, "Help,
terrorists are attacking us,
they have killed the woman
near me. Help, they are
coming."
When the worker tried
to communicate with
whoever was talking
over the radio he was un-
able to do so but then the
voice came on again in
Hebrew with an Arabic
accent, "We shall slaugh-
ter you," it said. "We are
Palestinian guerillas. We
are going towards Ashke-
lon."
The last part of the con-
versation was also heard by
police and within minutes
emergency procedures went
into effect and roadblocks
were set up from Rishon le
Zion south to Ashkelon. The
army had a news blackout
on the incident.
Israel Will Pay
UNESCO Fees
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Israel decided to resume
payments to the annual
budget of UNESCO, accord-
ing to an official Cabinet
announcement. The deci-
sion was approved by the
Cabinet following a prop-
osal by Foreign Minister
Moshe Dayan that Israel
pay $374,000 which repre-
sents its debts to UNESCO
for the last two years.
Israel suspended pay-
ments three years ago after
UNESCO adopted an anti-
Israel resolution which bar-
red it from the activities of
UNESCO's European reg-
ional group. This followed
allegations by Arab dele-
gates that Israel was en-
gaged in archeological
work which was altering
the features of Jerusalem.
Israel was readmitted in
November, 1976 after in-
ternational protests and a
decision by the United
States to suspend contribu-
tions to UNESCO's budget.
The U.S. resumed payments
last year.
