Israel builds up
forces on
Lebanese border
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP)- Israeli for-
ces are massed on the Lebanese border
and their Christian allies across the
frontier have been reinforced with $100
million in arms and ammunition from
the Jewish state, the government
disclosed yesterday.
Police also disarmed a nine-pound
time bomb in a telephone booth in the
center of Jerusalem's Jewish business
area. It was set to explode at the end of
the rush hour, raising speculation that
Palestinian terrorists were involved
and that Israel would strike again at
their bases in Lebanon. -
PRIME Minister Menachem Begin's
uncompromising doctrine dictates that
any terrorist action designed to spill
Jewish blood anywhere in the world
merits Israeli military retaliation.
Israeli newspapers said Begin told
parIiambnt's Foreign Affairs and
Security Committee Thursday that the
guerrillas had canceled the 10-month-
old cease-fire on the northern border by
their insistence on attacking Israel on
other fronts.
They said Begin told the committee
that the guerrillas had in effect ended
the truce by interpreting it to limit
military action only from Lebanon, and
that Israel would not tolerate such a
situation.
IN ADDITION, Lt. Gen. Raphael
Eytan, Israel's military chief of staff,
confirmed in a newspaper interview
yesterday that he had concentrated
forces along the Lebanese border.
Eytan made public what correspon-
dents have known for weeks but could
not report because of military censor-
ship-that Israel has moved large
quantities of troops and hardware to the
Lebanese front.
The buildup has gone on for more
than a month and foreign reports claim
40,000 troops have been moved ot the
border.
In another indication of Israel's
massive stake in the Lebanese arena,
Begin disclosed that in recent years his
government had supplied $100 million
worth of arms and ammunition to pro-
Israeli Christian militiamen in
Lebanon.

Yesterday's weather was so nice. How nice was it? Nice enough to take an
