Iraqi Strength
Worries Israel

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel is
increasingly concerned that
the battle-hardened Iraqi air
force will pose a serious threat
once Iraq's war with Iran is
ended.
Israel Air Force Commander
Gen. Amos Lapidot told a
group of foreign military at-
taches that Iraqi pilots are cur-
rently flying "hundreds of sor-
ties per day". He said Israeli
and outside observers have
discerned a significant im-
provement in the quality of
Iraqi air power.
Their planes attack at much
lower levels than before and
their bombing and ground
support is more accurate, he
said. Though some outside ob-
servers maintain that foreign,
mainly Pakistani, pilots are
flying for Iraq, there is no con-
firmation of such reports.
Lapidot said the improved
capabilities of the Iraqi air
force would enable it to fly sor-
ties against Israel in a future
war from Iraqi territory with-
out the need for bases in Jor-
dan or Syria.
The Iran-Iraq war is now in
its seventh year. While Iran,
with much greater manpower,
appears at the moment to have
the edge on the ground, Iraqi
air power is considered
superior to Iran's by most ex-
perts here and abroad.
According to foreign sources,
however, the advanced anti-
aircraft and anti-tank weapons
sold to Iran covertly by the U.S.
and Israel, has been able to
blunt Iraq's superior air force
and armor.

PLO As Strong
As Before War

Jerusalem (JTA) — Six
years after the Lebanon war,
the military strength of the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization in Lebanon has been
restored to almost the same
level as it was when the Israel
Defense Force invaded that
country in June, 1982, a senior
military officer told an audi-
ence in Tel Aviv Monday.
The officer, who holds the
rank of Lt. Colonel, but was not
identifed by name, said PLO
terrorists were returning to
their old bases in Sidon and
Tyre and their presence can be
felt by the increased incidence
of attempted attacks on Israel.
The officer noted that Sidon
and Tyre, on the Lebanese
coast, provide the terrorists
with bases for night attacks on
Israel by sea. So far, the Israel
Navy has successfully aborted
such attacks, he said. But the
sea cannot be totally sealed off.
He proposed that Israel in-
itiate a strong international
maritime intelligence force to
interdict sea-borne terrorists
and saboteurs. He said Israel
could contribute considerable
experience to such an under-
taking.
