Palestinians depart after Israeli delay in Beirut evacuation
After a six to seven hour delay more than a thousand Al Fatah guerrillas left Beirut on a Sol Phryne voyage to Tunisia amid Israeli blockades. Israel cited a violation of evacuation rules by loading jeeps while the U.S. pledged they would be unloaded en route. The episode followed earlier departures and ahead of a third group due for North and South Yemen.
