Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel
could sign a peace treaty
with Lebanon six to nine
months after forces of the
Islamic fundamentalist
Hezbollah are disarmed,
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin said this week during
a visit to the Gaza Strip.
Mr. Rabin voiced belief
that the Iranian-backed
Hezbollah operating north of
the border between the two
countries now poses the sole
obstacle to a peace accord
between the two countries.
But when or whether Hez-
bollah could be disarmed is
another story.
Earlier, Mr. Rabin, who is
also Israeli defense minister,
presented a gloomy picture
of the rise of Muslim funda-
mentalist elements in
southern Lebanon and the
territories. He made this
assessment during a briefing
of the Knesset Foreign Af-
fairs and Defense Com-
mittee.
"This is a Khomeinist
Islamic wave, which aspires
to reach power everywhere
by means of terrorism," said
Mr. Rabin, referring to
followers of the late Iranian
leader Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini.
He insisted that had the
Lebanese army deployed
3,000 soldiers in southern
Lebanon earlier this month,
it could have put an end to
Hezbollah operations.
But at that time, Syria and
the United Nations Interim
Force in Lebanon prevented
a large deployment of
Lebanese forces, allowing
only 500 to 600 Lebanese
soldiers into the region.
In the nearly four weeks
since Israel suspended its
weeklong shelling of
southern Lebanon, there
have been 22 hostile in-
cidents reported in the re-
gion Israel maintains as its
security zone, the Knesset
panel was told this week.
These statistics were com-
piled by commanders of
Israel Defense Force opera-
tions in Lebanon, who said
that the 22 incidents includ-
ed bombs, roadside explosive
charges and mortar attacks
against positions of the IDF
and its allied South Lebanon
Army.
Last week there was yet
another incident in southern
Lebanon, when IDF and
SLA troops shelled a village
in the region in retaliation

Yitzhak Rabin:
Troops could end threat.

for an earlier fundamenta-
list attack on the SLA.
According to IDF reports,
there have been a total of
822 incidents in the security
zone during the first eight
months of 1993. That figure
is double the number of in-
cidents in the preceding
eight months.
Israel lost nine IDF
soldiers in the security zone
on Aug. 19, when Iranian-
backed Hezbollah launched
two attacks on IDF patrols.
These incidents were the
most serious since the U.S.-
brokered cease-fire brought
Israel's shelling of southern
Lebanon to an end in July. ❑

Skinheads
Hit Cemetery

Rome (JTA) — Vandals
desecrated the municipal
cemetery of a small town in
northern Italy last week,
spray- painting swastikas
and anti-Semitic slogans.
Police said the raid ap-
peared to have been carried
out either by neo-Nazi
skinheads — or by youths
imitating skinheads.
The desecration was
discovered at the cemetery of
the town of Lazzate, near
Milan, which has a popula-
tion of 6,000.
Swastikas and slogans
reading, "Jews to the bon-
fire," "Today spray-paint,
tomorrow bombs," "Bastard
Jews" and "Heil Hitler"
were spray-painted on the
walls of the cemetery, on
tombs and particularly on
the wall-like memorial sec-
tion for funerary urns.
Local people cleaned off
the slogans within hours of
their discovery.
