WAR ON ISRAEL
Arab Hopes Fading?
(N.ZP. A.-Reuter—Copyright) TEL AVIV (Israel), Oct. 16. Under unrelenting pressure from Israeli security forces, Arab saboteurs appeared to have given up hope of starting a guerrilla war in Israelioccupied areas west of the Jordan River, the Associated Press reported. Sources said El Fatah gangs backed by Syria were pulling out of bases from which they had carried on a terror campaign for the last six weeks. The sources said the raid on the Maoz Hayyim kibbutz in northern Israel yesterday was a strong indication that the saboteurs had reverted to the tactics they used before the Middle East war last June —hit-and-run raids across the Jordanian border.
Four bombs caused damage at the kibbutz but no casualties were reported. Israeli security officials said they had rounded up at least 200 terrorists west of the river.
