Attacks on IDF in Lebanon
`won't change Israel policy'
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The
deaths of- three Israeli
soldiers in south Lebanon
over the weekend will not
change Israel's policy of
maintaining a military
presence there, senior De-
fense Ministry sources say.
The three men were kil-
led Saturday night and two
other soldiers were
wounded — one seriously —
when their two jeep convoy
was ambushed with small
arms fire and rocket-
propelled grenades on a
road near Kamel El-Luz,
about two miles from Syrian
lines on the eastern sector of
the front. The sector had
been quiet for nearly two
months.
The incident brought Is-
rael Defense -Force casual-
ties since the invasion of
Lebanon two years ago to
584 soldiers dead and
'nearly 4,000 wounded. But
Defense sources indicated
that no direct retaliatory
strikes are contemplated.
Instead, Israel will continue
its pre-emptive ,air strikes
at selected targets in Leba-
non. The most recent, last
Thursday, was the second in
five days, according to IDF
sources.
A military spokesman
said hits were scored on a
terrorist base at Bar Elias
five miles south of Zahle
the Bekaa Valley and that
all aircraft returned safely.
Military correspondents
indicated that the raid may
have been prompted by in-
telligence reports of
planned terrorist activities
or in response to terrorist
attacks which injured five
Israeli soldiers in south
Lebanon last week.
Beirut Radio reported
Friday that the target of the
previous day's air strike
was a base used by Ahmed
Jibril's Syrian-backed
Popular Front for the Lib-,
eration of Palestine-
General Command. Defense
Minister Moshe Arens, ad-
dressing the Engineers
Club in Tel Aviv last Fri-
day, said that "as long as
there are attacks" on the
IDF "in Lebanon we will not
leave."
He maintained that Is-
rael's continued presence in
south Lebanon was -neces-
sary to convince the
Lebanese to come to terms
with Israel. Officials in
Jerusalem said that there
was no information from
Beirut to confirm reports
that the Lebanese govern-
ment plans to ask Israel to
shut down its liaison office
in a northern suburb of Be-
irut. According to the re-
ports, the government of
Prime Minister Rashid
Karameh plans to close the
office.
Israeli officials suggested
that such a move would be
counterproductive. If the
Lebanese government is
anxious to persuade Israel
to withdraw from south
Lebanon it should have an
interest in maintaining the
liaison office which is the
only direct channel for
negotiations between Be-
irut and Jerusalem, two of-
ficials said.
