Rabin Links Guerrilla Attack to Syrian Support
Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin says a failed seaborne raid on Israel’s northern border was proof that Damascus backs terrorism. Four guerrillas and two Israeli soldiers died in a predawn clash near Nahariya, followed by an Israeli strike on Ein el Helweh refugee camp near Sidon. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Syrian Social Nationalist Party claimed responsibility. Police reported one civilian killed and nine injured in Lebanon. Rabin blamed Syria for recent airline bomb plot attempts and noted tense Israel Syria relations since November. Prime Minister Peres said the air raid targeted the infiltrators’ likely origin.
