An israeli Soldier speaking to the israeli army radio described the scene when he and his men arrived. We went out to comb the area. The Dinghy was already on fire. We got about 20 meters away from it and then one of them threw a grenade. But we continued firing on him. We Only saw one of them and every one really pounced on him. Then a second one started throwing grenades. I took cover behind a Hill he said but i was wounded by shrapnel in the leg. I went Back to pull out another Soldier who got hit with a burst of machine gun fire in the foot.

In the course of the Battle two israeli soldiers died of their wounds and nine others were evacuated with wounds considered Light or medium an army spokes Man said. Israeli military officials said that the ability of the palestinian guerrillas to penetrate so closely to the israeli Border underlined the extent to which the guerrillas have been rebuilding their forces in Lebanon indecent months. Moreover the officials said Yasser Arafat is expected to redouble his efforts to re establish an inde pendent base of operations in Lebanon now that Al Fatah the guerrilla group he leads has been evicted from Jordan by King Hussein. Despite the assertion by the popular front for the liberation of Palestine israeli military sources said they were still checking the evidence and could not confirm that the group was behind the attack. Some israeli military officials expressed a belief that the four palestinians who died might have been from Al Fatah and might have been looking to make a spectacular gain on the Battlefield to compensate for their organization s eviction from Jordan.
