The order was issued by Premier Pierre Mauroy at the request of President Francois Mitterrand, who had promised Jewish lead- ers during his campaign to give priority consideration to this issue. Jewish leaders and pro- Israeli economic circles in France expressed their satisfaction with the new administration's prompt legislation. Anti-boycott legisla- tion was adopted by the National Assembly in 1977, but the outgoing administration issued an executive order enabling French exporters to avoid compliance with the law "when France's economic interests are at stake." This executive interpre- tation was used by practi- cally all French firms trad- ing with the Arab states to avoid the law and enforce Arab demands discriminat- ing against economic ex- changes with Israeli firms. rck ei \ kw' 4 ,4a c• iS A MODERN CONCEPT PROVIDING i cNa PROFESSIONAL NURSING CARE.

The targets were cros- sings along the Litani and Zaharani Rivers which the terrorists had improvised after Israeli Air Force planes destroyed the bridges last week. The bridges had been used to transport military equip- ment for attacks on Israel. Air Force Commander Gen. David Ivry said Israeli aircraft had met "massive anti-aircraft fire" during some of their sorties on ter- rorist targets in Lebanon, but none fiad been hit and all planes returned safely to their base. The fire included anti-aircraft artillery and missiles, mainly from shoulder-mounted Strella missile launchers, and on one occasion a SAM-9 mis- sile was fired, Ivry said. Asked about the delays in the delivery of F-16 planes from the United States, he said it was "bearable in the short term, but could be serious in the long term." Meanwhile, Premier Menahem Begin dis- closed that a 130 mm ar- tillery gun of the type used to shell Israeli set- tlements had been de- stroyed Tuesday, but he did not say whether it was by air attack or by Israeli artillery fire. "It may be replaced by the enemy," he said. "If so, its replacement will also be destroyed." The number of deaths rose steadily as violence in the Israel-Lebanon border area remained intense throughout the week. Palestinian rocket fire claimed another victim Monday morning. A 40-year old mother of three chil- dren, Zipora Yesod, was kil- led in Kibutz Misgav Am and several other settlers were injured when shells burst in the center of the kibutz. According to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) the Palestinians fired about 350 artillery shells and about 50 Katyusha rockets into northern Israel Sunday night. Three Israelis were kil- led in Nahariya last week. A fourth was killed last Friday in Kiryat Shmona by terrorist roc- ket fire after a massive Israeli air raid on Beirut in which more than 100 people were killed Fri- day. The sources said Begin re- jected American criticism of Israel's air attack on Beirut last Friday in which there were heavy civilian casual- ties on grounds that the ter- rorists have been shelling Israeli civilians over a long period. U.S. special envoy Philip Habib reportedly was told by Begin that Syria was the key to the terrorist attacks on Israel from Lebanon and he was urged to convey the message to Damascus that Israel reserved the right to take whatever action it thought necessary to pro- tect the lives of its citizens and that it was up to Syria to keep the terrorists under firm control. The Israelis also repor- tedly told Habib that the terrorists were constantly being supplied with more and better weapons from Libya, Syria and the Corn- munist bloc countries. Deputy Defense Minis- ter Mordechai Zipori said in a radio interview Saturday that Israel would welcome diploma- tic efforts to restore calm to the Israeli-Lebanese border. But he warned that if the Palestinians continued their shelling of Israeli towns, the Is- rael army would escalate its counter-measures. Meanwhile, former Pre- mier Yitzhak Rabin, a leader of the opposition Labor Party sharply criticized the Begin gov- ernment's military policy in Lebanon in an article in Yediot Ahronot. Terrorist operations from Lebanon cannot be stopped by mili- tary means, he said. Former Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan also appeared to have reservations about the raid. Nevertheless, he said on a radio interview that Israel was confronted with the choice of halting the attacks to allow dip- lomatic efforts to work, knowing that the terrorists would utilize the hiatus to regroup and prepare for fu- ture assaults, or to continue the attacks while the former guerrilla forces of the PLO gradually attain the status of an army with their ac- quisition of tanks and heavy artillery. Explaining the Beirut raid, Chief of Military In- telligence Gen. Yehoshua Saguy told foreign corre- spondents at a press confer- ence last weekend that the action followed delivery o, large numbers of 130 mm. cannons and 40-barrel Katyusha rocket launchers to the Palestinians as well as T-34, T-55 and T-54 tanks, and SAM-9 anti- aircraft missiles from Syria and Libya. He said these mainly Soviet-made weapons were difficult to spot in search-and-destroy mis- sions. Therefore, it was decided to attack ter- rorist headquarters in Beirut "to give them something to think ab- out," Saguy said. He said all of the targets in Friday's raid were lo- cated within a triangle in the Lebanese capital that has been taken over com- pletely by the terrorists to which Lebanese authorities and civilians have only limited access. He said the principal targets were two buildings which housed the main headquarters of El Fatah and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Pales- tine on the third to fifth floors with the families of Palestinian officers housed on the upper and lower floors. ' Weinberger: Israel Reactor Strike Set Back Peace Talks WASHINGTON (JTA) — Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger charged that Israel's attack on Iraq's nu- clear reactor June 7 and its bombing of Beirut last Fri- day have set back American peace efforts in Lebanon. Interviewed by ABC-TV "Good Morning America" program, Weinberger said that special U.S. envoy Philip Habib "came very close to securing a very rea- sonable set of peace terms with respect to the removal of the missiles of Syria (in Lebanon) just about that time the Iraqi reactor was bombed. "Then," Weinberger con- tinued, "He was starting to make very good progress, assisted by Saudi Arabia and other countries of the moderate Arab nations with respect to the situation again, and then Beirut was bombed. So, each of these things has set back the whole course of security and peace quite a ways." Weinberger's state- ment, one of the strongest by a Reagan Administra- tion official regarding Is- rael's policy toward Lebanon, also termed Premier Menahem Be- gin's policy as one that "cannot really be de- scribed as moderate at this point," and justified President Reagan's deci- sion to put off indefinitely two shipments totalling 10 F-16 fighter planes to Israel. "One of the instruments of violence, is of course, the planes," the Secretary of Defense said. The President's feeling was that we simply did not want to add anything to that al- ready rather explosive situ- ation." Weinberger warned that the escalation of hostilities across the Lebanon-Israe' border could cause tremer. dous damage. He added: "1 - would very much hope that the logic of the situation would appeal to everybody and we would get a cease- fire quickly."
