The latest series of at- tacks began Sunday after a bomb exploded in a pickup truck outside the Tel Aviv central bus station. Two Is- raeli Arabs in the truck were killed and three bys- tanders injured. The dead are Issa Ismail Yousouf, 43, a dealer in Arabic books in Kfar Kas- sem village who owned the Ford pick-up truck and George Theodori, 24, an employee of the East Jerusalem Electric Corp., Yousouf was described as a wealthy man of a respect- able family. His relatives said that the bomb — 5 kgs. of high explosives — was placed in his truck without his knowledge. But security sources believe Yousouf was employed by terrorists to transport the bomb because his vehicle carried Israeli license plates that would not arouse suspicion in Tel Aviv. They are also investigat- ing whether Theodori, an electrical engineer, might not have been engaged in preparing bombs and tim- ing devices.

Aside from the two ar- rests of UNIFIL officers for smuggling arms for the Palestinians, Israel says UNIFIL officers have been caught filming military positions in the Christian enclaves in south Lebanon. UN Designation of PLO Attacked Edward Rondina, Hair welcome. "We have the strength to hit the terrorists until they stop the bloodshed. And now they are fleeing. We do not re- taliate any more. We hit them once or even twice a day according to our deci- sion and any time. We look for them in their hiding places. We try to locate their command posts, those re- sponsible for murder. You have a good chance to get rid of the terrorists but give us time to fulfill this chance. It is our intention to dissuade them from wanting to hurt us. But this is not done overnight," he said. Begin met with Maj. Saad Haddad, commander . of the Christian militia in south Lebanon and reiterated Is- rael's pledge not to desert the Christians who are battling the Palestinians. He also repeated his call to the Lebanese government UNITED NATIONS (JTA) — Israel protested Monday in a letter to Secre- tary General Kurt Wal- dheim and the UN Secretariat, the listing of the "terrorist" Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as "government" in an official UN publication. The publication was is- sued by the Special Unit on Palestinian Rights at the UN Secretariat. The Israeli letter stated in part: "This is further evi- dence of the fact that the in- tegrity of the UN Secretariat has been gravely compromised, and that the unit is a pliant tool in the hands of the terrorist PLO."
