TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is-
rael is maintaining a close
watch over Syrian troop
movements in Lebanon,
but, according to sources
here, they appear for the
moment to be defensive and
not a cause for immediate
concern.
Syria's
30,000-man
"peace keeping" force, in
Lebanon under a mandate
from the Arab League, has
been spread thin. Accord-
ingly, Damascus plans to
pull its troops out of Beirut
and other cities and concen-
trate them in the Seaga
region of eastern Lebanon.
Israeli sources said this
move seems to have been
planned for some time and
was not precipitated by any
external reasons.
The pull-back has been
delayed, however, be-
cause the Lebanese

authorities fear that the
withdrawal could lead to
a resumption of the of the
civil war, particularly if
the Syrian forces are re-
placed by the Syrian-
sponsored Palestine Lib-
eration Army (PLA).
The PLO is a para-
military organization
which Syria has armed with
tanks and artillery. It al-
ready controls the south
Lebanese coast from
Damour to the Zaharani
River.
Prime Minister Selim
al-Hoss of Lebanon flew to
Damascus Monday for ur-
gent talks with President
Hafez Assad and other top
officials. He persuaded
them to delay the pullback
until a suitable defensive
arrangement can be worked
out.
The Syrians have a
mechanized division in
the southern region of the
Baaqa Valley and an-
other division in the
north. The basic concept
of the deployment is de-
fensive, but the Russian
type of defensive de-
ployment adopted by the
Syrian army can be
changed quickly to an of-
fensive springboard.
The Syrian move has es-
calated tension between
Christians and Moslems in
Beirut and the Christians
and Palestinian terrorists
in south Lebanon.
Mossad Is Topic
HAMBURG (ZINS) —
The German newspaper Die
Zeit recently did a feature
article about Israel's secret
service, the Mossad.
The newspaper inter-
viewed Gen. Yitzhak Hofi,
who has directed Mossad
since 1974. It said Mossad is
divided into five depart-
ments: secret domestic af-
fairs, Arab affairs, research,
special actions and a sec-
tion which maintains con-
tact with secret service
agencies of other countries.

"The West Bank press is

allowed in practice to oper-

criticism of Israeli policies,"
the report said. It observed,

"generally, the Interna-
tional Committee for the
Red Cross may at any time
visit prisoners not under in-
terrogation. In addition,
ICRC delegates visit con-
victed Arab security pris-
oners in Israel and the occu-
pied territories. Whenever
the ICRC feels it necessary,
an ICRC physician may
conduct medical examina-
tions without witnesses; the
ICRC may submit inquiries
about specific cases to the
Israeli authorities."
The report said that, as
of November 1979, there
were about 2,661 non-
Israeli Arabs in prison
for security offenses in
Israel proper or in the
territories. The report
said that "legal proce-
dures" and trials of al-
leged security offenders
"appear generally to
meet the standards of a
fair trial, although Arab
prisoners charge that
convictions are fre-
quently based on confes-
sions obtained through
coercion. The Depart-
ment of State is not able
to substantiate these
charges," the report said.
