Jerusalem (JTA) — The Israeli
poet T. Carmi died of cancer at
his home in Jerusalem. He was
68 years old.
He was known for his collec-
tions of poetry and translations
of classics, including plays by

Brecht and Sophocles.
Mr. Carmi was born Carmi
Charney in New York in 1925, in
a home where Hebrew was the
spoken language. He lived in
Palestine as a child.
Returning to New York with
his family, Mr. Carmi studied at
Yeshiva University in New York.
In 1946, he volunteered to work
with refugee children in France.
He settled in Israel a year later
and fought in the War of Inde-
pendence as an air force officer.
Mr. Carmi edited the Penguin
Book of Hebrew Verse and the
•arts magazineAriel and received
the Bialik Prize for poetry four
years ago.
He also was an editor of the lit-
erary journal Massa and was a
member of the repertory com-
mittee of Habimah, the Israeli
state theater.
In addition, he edited chil-
dren's books for Am Oved pub-
lishing house.
His first book of poetry, Mum
Ve-Halom (Blemish and Dream),
was published in 1950.
One of Mr. Carmi's most fa-
mous poems is 'There Are No
Black Flowers," about his expe-
riences in the children's refugee
house in France.

Soldiers Wounded
In Lebanon Attack
Jerusalem (JTA) — Three Israeli
soldiers were wounded in an at-
tack launched by the Islamic fun-
damentalist Hezbollah
movement in the central sector
of the southern Lebanon securi-
ty zone.
Israel and its allied South
Lebanon Army responded to the
attack by launching artillery fire
at Hezbollah positions.
The three wounded soldiers
were flown to a hospital in Israel.
Two of the soldiers were later re-
ported to be lightly wounded, the
third moderately.
On the weekend, an Israeli sol-
dier was hurt when Hezbollah
gunmen ambushed an Israeli pa-
trol in the eastern sector of the
security zone.
A senior Israeli security source,
meanwhile, has denied claims
made by Hezbollah that 12 SLA
soldiers had defected to the Iran-
ian-backed group. He said
Hezbollah has recently intensi-
fied its campaign of psychologi-
cal warfare against the SLA.
