Terror Group Claims Role In Death Of IDF Soldier Jerusalem (JTA) — The Popu- lar Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Damascus- based terrorist group, claimed re- sponsibility this week for Mon- day's murder of an Israeli soldier, Corp. Aharon Avidar, in the West Bank town of Ramallah. A 'PFLP statement from Damascus said one of its units at- tacked a group of Israeli soldiers, killed one and wounded others. But the 29-year-old Corporal was murdered by a lone gunman who fired a single shot at him as he stood guard at the gate to the gov- ernment office compound in downtown Ramallah. The killer escaped in the crowded Streets. About 150 shops in the vicinity of the killing remained closed through Tuesday by order of the civil administration as security forces continued to search for the assailant.

In a related development, Pre- mier Shimon Peres has implicitly warned West Bank settlers that: -/ the government would not tolerate their taking the law into their own hands. Peres, speaking at Sunday's Cabinet meeting which convened to discuss the mounting tension in the administered territories and claims of the government's failure to protect settlers from Arab ter- \ 1 rorists, said the policy of the gov- ernment is a soft hand toward law-abiding citizens Jews and Arabs alike, and a hard hand toward terrorists. But, he stressed, only the government and its law enforcement agencies_ \ will enforce the law in the ter- ritories and no other elements 1 will be allowed to take the law into their hands. Only hours before Peres spoke, hundreds of Jewish settlers, de- manding harsher measures against the Arab populace,\ blocked key roads in the territory with their cars. The demonstra- tion, which created mammoth traffic jams, was a protest against the government's alleged failure to protect the roads. The settlers moved their ve/ hides after nearly two hours, ` avoiding a clash with police. Jewish militants in Hebron how- ever uprooted 35 Arab-owned fruit trees which they claim be- longs to Jews.
