PLO outrage destroys
"the wishful thinking"
and "illusions" of certain
European countries
which have talked re-
cently about the PLO's
peaceful intentions.
Blum also sharply
criticized UN Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim for
his statement about the at-
tack. The Israeli envoy
claimed that Waldheim's
comments would only
"encourage" 'the "criminal
activities" of the PLO.
The statement by Wal-
dheim said he was "deeply
concerned at the report of an
incursion on the night of 6-7
April into Kibutz Misgav
Am in Upper Galilee which
resulted in an exchange of
fire in which three Israelis
and five infiltrators were

reportedly killed and 16 Is-
raelis were wounded." The
statement said that "the
Secretary General deeply
deplores this violent inci-
dent, not only because of the
casualties entailed, espe-
cially innocent civilians,
but also because such inci-
dents increase tension in
the area."
Blum said that Wal-
dheim's failure to identify
the terrorists and condemn
the acts they committed can
only encourage similar acts
in the future. He said that
the five terrorists raided the
kibutz through the area
under control of the United
Nations Interim Force in
Lebanon (UNIFIL) and
charged that since Israel
withdrew its forces from
south Lebanon and UNIFIL
took control, more than
2,000 PLO terrorists "took
residence" in the area south
of the Litani River under
UNIFIL control.
Blum said that Israel
has drawn the attention
of the UN authorities to
the PLO's use and abuse
of the area under UN con-
trol for attacks on Israel.
In a letter to Waldheim,
Blum declared that Israel
would take all measures
seen appropriate to pro-
tect the lives of its citi-
zens. (Israeli military
units reportedly moved
into the UNIFIL-
controlled areas on Wed-
nesday.)
The Israeli envoy de-
nounced the Security Coun-
cil's debate on Palestinian
rights and charged that its
purpose is to disrupt the
peace process in general. He
said it was called at this
time to coincide with the
visits of President Anwar
Sadat of Egypt and Premier
Menahem Begin of Israel to
Washington for meetings
with President Carter.
Blum accused the Soviet
Union of being a force be-

hind the scenes to continue
the debate in order to keep
the issue alive as long as
peace efforts are in motion.
It had been reported last
week that the debate was to
be adjourned until July.
According to a Baghdad
radio broadcast, an Iraqi-
sponsored Palestinian ter-
rorist, group calling itself
the Arab Liberation Front
claimed responsibility for
the Misgav Am outrage.
The incident was the first in
12 months in which ter-
rorists infiltrated an Israeli
community to seize hos-
tages.
The terrorists crossed
into Israel from Lebanon,
shortly after midnight
Monday and invaded the
border kibutz before
dawn. They seized the
children's house, a com-
munal dormitory, hold-
ing its occupants at gun-
point. During the ensuing
hours, they issued sev-
eral demands, including
the freeing of 100 ter-
rorists in Israeli jails and
aircraft to carry them to
safety.
Early in the ordeal,
armed kibutz members at-
tacked the building and
managed to rescue five of
the hostages. The terrorists
were forced to the second
floor where they barricaded
themselves and continued
to issue demands. Troops
surrounded the building.
They attacked after several
hours of fruitless negotia-
tions with the terrorists.
The last terrorist raid in
Israel occurred in April
1979, when four terrorists
from Lebanon landed near
the coastal town of
Nahariya from rubber boats
and went on a pre-dawn
shooting rampage in which
four Israelis were killed.
Two of the terrorists were
killed and the other two
were wounded and cap-
tured.
The 2 1/2-year-old child
was identified as Eyal
Gluska.
Senior military sources
said that the terrorists
managed to infiltrate into
Israel by slipping
through a narrow cor-
Israel and Egypt Approve
Transportation Agreement
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is-
rael and Egypt have con-
cluded an agreement cover-
ing land and sea transpora-
tion between the two coun-
tries.
The pact, signed on the
eve of Passover, is in addi-
tion to the air transporation
agreement which went into
effect last month, and is
seen here as one more ad-
vance in the process of nor-
malization.
The new agreement, ef-
fective April 15, establishes
the regulations for motor
travel between Israel and
Egypt via Sinai. It also pro-
vides berthing facilities,
harbor services, pilotage
and other technical and
business requirements for
the merchant ships of each
country in the ports and ter-
ritorial waters of the other.
The land travel agree-
ment is of most interest to
Israelis planning to visit
Egypt. Private cars will
be able to cross the bor-
der at Neot Sinai or any
other official crossing
point.
The drivers will require a
car registration, interna-
tional driver's license and a
visa. Each car may carry as
many as seven persons. The
same rules will apply to
Egyptians driving to Israel.
It was learned, mean-
while, that Prime Minister
Mustapha Khalil of Egypt
will host a special reception
in Cairo for the Israeli Am-
bassador, Eliahu Ben-
Elissar. This was conveyed
to Premier Menahem Begin
by the Egyptian Ambas-
sador to Israel, Saad Mor-
tada. Apparently, Begin
had expressed some concern
recently over Ben-Elissar's
social isolation in the Egyp-
tian capital.
Israeli journalists have
reported from Cairo that
Ben-Elissar is shunned by
Egypt's social and diploma-
tic elite who have no contact
with him beyond the
minimum requited by pro-
tocol. Mortada did not indi-
cate when the reception
would be held.
ridor that is the demarca-
tion line between the
Irish and Nigerian units
of UNIFIL.

Chief of Staff Gen.
Raphael Eytan disclosed
that the terrorists were
armed with heavy
machineguns. He said it
was the first time terrorists
on a hostage-taking mission
carried such equipment.
Defense Minister Ezer
Weizman praised the preci-
sion with which the troops
carried out the rescue oper-
ation. But he said an inves-
tigation will be held to fi -
out how the terrorists mt
aged to break through sev-
eral rows of high barbed
wire fences surrounding the
kibutz. Eytan estimated
that it took them several
hours to cut holes close to
the ground just wide enough
for a man to crawl through.
He noted, however, that
they had the advantage of
working under cover of
darkness and a mist carried
by humid easterly winds.
Weizman expressed hope
that such an attack will not
be repeated but he said he
could not promise absolute
security. Eytan said later
that a terrorist assault dur-
ing the Passover holidays
was expected but "we had no
indication as to when,
where or how." He said that
matter would also be inves-
tigated.
Members of kibutzim in
the northern region con-
verged on Misgav Am on
Tuesday evening to assist in
repairing damage in the
children's house.
