Israel Troops Clash With Arab Raiders Near Adamit
Israeli soldiers clashed with Arab raiders attempting to cross from Lebanon into northern Israel near Adamit in western Galilee. One Arab and one Israeli died, with two Israelis wounded. The clash was the deadliest on the Israeli Lebanese frontier since July. The United States invited Israeli officials to Washington to discuss aid, with talks centering on a potential $1.7 to $2.5 billion package for fiscal 1976. A Palestinian guerrilla group, the PFLP General Command, suspended its membership in the PLO executive committee, alleging right wing dominance and signaling strain amid Beirut tensions.
