UN rebuke rejected by Israel in major Lebanon raid
Israel dismissed a UN Security Council rebuke of its May 12 raid into Lebanon as it vowed retaliation against Arab attacks. The council approved a resolution condemning the operation, with 11-0 votes as the United States and several nations abstained. Israel said it killed 30 guerrillas and captured 16 in a 32 hour clash. Parallel reports said South Vietnamese forces advanced into Cambodia after striking a North Vietnamese base camp. The drive, supported by U.S. air power, pushed toward Phnom Penh as casualties mounted on both sides.
