but in gold on a blue
background.
Since the "great change,"
there have been numerous
minor changes, such as the
introduction of the rank of
brigadier general and lieute-
nant general in 1971, along
with additional ranks since
then.
Class-A uniforms, man-
datory for all soldiers not in
field positions, are olive green
for the ground forces and
beige for the navy and air
force. The navy has an all
white dress uniform for for-
mal occasions.
Except for combat units, the
beret for men is green and for
women, black, with the brass
insignia of the respective
corps. All soldiers in combat
units have a red background
behind their corps insignia.
The beret for men and women
in the air force is blue-grey,
with silver insignia. Women
in the navy wear a black
beret with gold insignia while
men who do not hold officer's
rank wear the traditional
sailor's cap.
Since the establishment of
the IDF, the armored and ar-
tillery corps have worn black
berets, like their counterparts
in the British army. In the
1950s, the paratroopers were
issued red berets. Over the
years, the Golani infantry
brigade received brown

berets, combat engineering
grey berets, and the newly re-
established 'Givati infantry
brigade was issued purple
berets in 1986. These berets
must be earned, usually by
running a grueling overnight
stretcher march, which
signifies that the recruit has
passed a certain stage in
basic training.
There are dozens of dif-
ferent shoulder tags which
can either represent the
soldier's corps or the specific
unit, division or command.
Frequently the tags are sym-
bolic of the specific corps, such
as the caduceus of the
medical corps, or the balanc-
ed scales of the judge ad-
vocate general's corps.
As in the British army, in-
structors wear a braided cord
hanging from the left epaulet,
the color usually representing
the soldier's individual corps.
Most non-combat enlisted
soliders wear a small black
and red patch on the right
shirt front. signifying their
specific job, such as secretary,
graphic artist or driver.
While other armies may
have a more polished ap-
pearance, the IDF continues
to encourage an understated,
unified army in which in-
dividual conviction and in-
itiative make extravagant
pomp unnecessary.

Israel Attacks Terror
Bases In Lebanon

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Israeli
air force attacked terrorist
bases located south of Beirut,
the second Irsraeli raid on
Lebanese territory within a
week. Earlier, Israeli jets
bombed targets in two
refugee camps east of Sidon.
Targets of last week's raid
were bases used by terrorists
to plan and launch attacks on
Israel. Sources in Beirut said
the raid on the Shouf moun-
tain area southeast of the
Lebanese capital hit bases of
the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine, a ter-

rorist group headed by
George Habash that broke
away from the mainstream
Palestine Liberation Organi-
zation years ago.

The sources said the target
area is also the turf of Walid
Jumblatt's Druse militia. Its
bases as well as a multi-story
building used by the Popular
Front were hit.

The attack was reportedly
in retaliation for two
Katyusha rocket attacks on
Galilee recently. No one was
hurt in the rocket attacks.

Indians Will Play Israel

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The All-
India Association announced
that its Davis Cup team
would play against Israel
next month at the Ramat
Hasharon Tennis Center,
north of Tel Aviv.
The announcement, made
last week through the Inter-
national Tennis Association,
ended weeks of uncertainty
over the contest. The Indian
association had suggested

playing Israel at a "neutral
venue," because of the unrest
in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip. But both Israel and the
tennis association objected.
The Indians agreed to play
in Israel if their government
approved and their safety was
guaranteed. Apparently, both
conditions have been met.
The last India-Israel tennis
match, played in 1987, ended
in a 5-0 victory for India.
