r. THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Israel Army Officer Killed JERUSALEM (JTA) — An army colonel was killed and other military person- nel travelling with him in- jured Tuesday when a ter- rorist explosive device went off under their vehicle at Rafiah, Israel Television reported Tuesday night. The dead man was the military commander of the Rafiah area, Sgan-Aluf Eli Shahak, the report said. The TV added this was the first fatal terror attack against IDF personnel in the Rafiah area (south of aza) since the early 1970s nd the military authorities regarded it as extremely serious. Meanwhile, a military court in Nablus ruled that it was competent to try four Arabs for the murder of six Israeli Jews and the wounding of 16 others in an ambush of worshippers on their way home from synagogue in Hebron in May 1980. The defense had claimed the court had no right to try them as the four were "pris- oners of war." The judges re- fused to allow a delay until the defense appeals to the Supreme Court, but noted the defense lawyers could still do so.
