Knesset Intruder
Attempts Assault

Jerusalem (JTA) — An in-
truder jumped onto the floor
of the Knesset from a guest
balcony and tried to attack
an Arab Knesset member
before being dragged away
by another lawmaker and
security officials.
The intruder, identified
only as an Italian national
in his early 30s, jumped from
the press gallery just as
Knesset member Hashem
Mahameed of the Democrat-
ic Front for Peace and
Equality concluded a speech
on the need to reunite Pales-
tinian families in the ter-
ritories with their families
abroad.
The man jumped right
onto the row of seats where
Mr. Mahameed was seated,
alongside another Arab
Knesset member, Abdul
Wahab Darawshe of the
Arab Democratic Party.
As soon as the man ap-
proached Mr. Mahameed
and Mr. Darawshe, Knesset
member Haim Dayan of the
opposition Tsomet party
seized the man and, together
with Knesset guards,
dragged the attacker out of
the room.
No one was hurt in the in-
cident.
An initial investigation
has indicated that the man
arrived at the entrance to
the press gallery. He ap-
peared to be looking in his
pocket for an entry permit
when he suddenly ran past
the guards and jumped from
the balcony onto the main
floor.
Mr. Mahameed drew wide
public criticism several
months ago when he ap-
peared at a rally in the Gaza
Strip and told his Palestin-
ian audience that they
should resist "Israeli oc-
cupation with all means at
their disposal."
As a result of this speech,
his parliamentary immunity
was partially removed.
This incident was the se-
cond such attack on a
Knesset member in almost
40 years.
In the late 1950s, an ap-
parently unbalanced Israeli,
Moshe Douwek, threw a
hand grenade toward the
front table in the Knesset
where the Cabinet was
seated, slightly wounding
several ministers, including
then Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion.
As a result, a bullet-proof
glass partition was installed

between the public gallery
and the Knesset floor. But
the VIP and press gallery
remains unenclosed.
Knesset Speaker Shevach
Weiss issued a statement
describing the incident as
"very grave."
He instructed the house of-
ficer to suspend whoever
should have been responsi-
ble for preventing the at-
tacker's entrance.

Reservists
Increase Stints

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israeli
citizens doing army reserve
duty in combat units are
now being asked to serve up
to double the number of days
they have been serving an-
nually.
At the same time, reser-
vists in non-combat units,
known popularly as
"jobniks," have already had
their annual army service
reduced for budgetary
reasons.
The Israel Defense Force
chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Ehud
Barak, told the Knesset's
Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee last week that
the extended service for
combat soldiers was needed
to cope with the continuing
fight against terrorism
within Israel, the ad-
ministered territories and
southern Lebanon.
He also said training for
possible traditional war
situations must continue.
Lt. Gen. Barak was quoted
as having told the com-
mittee: "Hundreds of
thousands- of reserve duties
have been trimmed from
non-combat units over the
past year. But from now on,
combat units will be given
more training.
"Squad commanders, like
ordinary combat soldiers,
will serve up to 35 days an-
nually; company com-
manders up to 60 days; and
battalion commanders up to
90 days annually," he said.
Army officials said the in-
crease in duty ranged from
50 percent more to double
the amount of time previous-
ly served.
Lt. Gen. Barak noted that
officers in these ranks
"make a great personal
sacrifice, and the time has
come to find a way to com-
pensate them for it."
He did not spell out what he
regarded as "compensation."
