Israelis wounded in Lebanon
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Two Is-
raeli soldiers were wounded
by a roadside explosion near
Sidon in south Lebanon
Sunday, bringing to five the
number of Israel Defense
,3 Force personnel wounded in
Lebanon over the weekend.
Three other soldiers were
wounded in the eastern sec-
tor of the front last Friday.
An IDF spokesman reported
that eight Israeli soldiers
have been wounded in re-
> cent days by land mines
planted by terrorists in
south Lebanon.
An Arab was fatally shot
in south Lebanon last week
when an Israeli patrol
opened fire on his speeding
car south of the Zaharani
River. The driver had ig-
nored orders to halt. A large
store of explosives and
weapons was found in the
car, the IDF said.
Israeli artillery shelled

Organization headquarters
in the Syrian-controlled
northern Bekaa Valley in
eastern Lebanon after two
Katyusha rockets were
fired from south Lebanon
toward Israel.
The rockets, aimed at the
Galilee panhandle, both fell
near the Lebanese village of
Adeisa, about a kilometer
from the Israeli border town
of Misgav Am. One of the
rockets exploded. The other
ADL reports
mistreatment
of Yemeni Jews
New York (JTA) — Dis-
turbinb accounts of the mis-
treatment of Jews in North
Yemen are being reported
to the Anti-Defamation
league of B'nai B'rith (ADL)
by visitors returning from
that country.
According to Abraham
Foxman, ADL's associate
Erector, these confidential
reports indicate that the
condition of the surviving
remnant of the North
Yemen Jewish community
is deteriorating with op-
pression intensifying as a
result of an influx of PLO
terrorists after the war in
Lebanon.
The ADL official quoted
visitors' eyewitness ac-
counts of foreigners and of
surveillance by security
agents who report on any
contact foreigners make
with Jews.
Foxman said that it is dif-
ficult to obtain a clear pic-
ture from the various re-
ports of the full ramifica-
tions of the Jewish plight in
North Yemen but that,
nevertheless, the accounts
leave no doubt that the
Jewish community suffers
many restrictions and pro-
hibitions that are not
applied to the rest of the
population.
Most of North Yemen's
Jewish population of about
50,000 migrated to Israel
shortly after the founding of
the Jewish state. Foxman
said that the Jews who re-
mained behind, now esti-
mated at between 1,000 and
1,200 men, women and chil-
dren, are treated as pariahs
by teh authorities and their
Moslem countrymen.

An IDF spokesman said
the targets of Sunday's shel-
ling were two local head-
quarters of the PLO set up
under the shelter of the Sy-
rian army. They were said
to be bases where PLO
fighters were trained for at-
tacks on the IDF in Leba-
non.

Herzog nixes
pardon for
Syrian spy
Tel Aviv (JTA) —
President Chaim Herzog
has rejected an appeal to
pardon Udi Adiv, a kibbutz
member who has served 11
years of a 17-year prison
term for spying.
Adiv was sentenced in
1973 after his conviction on
charges of passing informa-
tion to Syrian intelligence
agents during visits to Syria
and Greece. Prison
authorities have refused to
allow the customary one-
third reduction of his sen-
tence for good behavior, al-
though Adiv's conduct has
been exemplary.
Herzog's office said the
president had given most
serious consideration to the
numerous public appeals for
a pardon but decided to
abide by the recom-
mendations of Justice
Minister Moshe Nissim
against a pardon. A state-
ment released on behalf of
Herzog said, "In the light of
the essence and seriousness
of the crime, there is no jus-
tification to grant a pardon
or to reduce the punishment
set by the court."
Herzog favored a fur-
lough for Adiv to allow him
to marry. But his fiancee
reportedly rejected the offer
because she would not
marry a man who must re-
turn to jail immediately
after their wedding.

NY measure
urges hunt for
war criminals
Albany (JTA) — Both
houses of the New York
State Legislature have
adopted a resolution calling
on the United States Con-
gress to investigate "the
cover-up of utilization of
Nazi war criminals" by U.S.
government agencies after
World War II and U.S. col-
laboration in the escape of
those Nazis from justice in
Europe.
The resolution also urged
the government of Chile to
immediately expel Walter
Rauff, the Nazi war crimi-
nal responsible for the
mobile gas chambers in
which some 250,000 Jews
died, who has lived in Chile
since 1958.
The bi-partisan resolu-
tion was sponsored in the
state senate by Sens. Man-
fred Ohrenstein and Carol
Berman; and in the assem-
bly by Alan Hevesi, Dov
Hikind, Sheldon Silver,
Howard Lasher and Nettie
Mayersohn.
