Syrian SAM 6 missiles were deployed near Rayak Lebanon as the US sought Soviet help to avert wider war. Palestinian guerrillas renewed rockets into northern Israel wounding eight. Israeli PM Begin said there may not be war, while Beirut embassies urged nationals to leave. Syria has 22,000 troops in Lebanon to enforce the ceasefire, and Haig called the Lebanon crisis very worrisome.
