Druse Militiamen Bombard East Beirut Amid Fighting
Druse militiamen shelled Christian areas of East Beirut late last night after daylong clashes with Christian militias. The districts near the presidential palace and the U.S. ambassador’s residence were targeted though neither site was hit. One report cited by the Christian Phalange militia claimed casualties, while security sources reported no deaths. Syrian artillery possibly joined the bombardment as U.S. envoy McFarlane urged expulsion of foreign armies. Prime Minister Begin blamed Syria for the deadlock over withdrawal and said Israel would honor the U.S. framework if Syria and the PLO left simultaneously.
