invaded this town near the
Lebanese border and killed
18 people - eight of them
children - and wounded 15
others - including 'two*
policemen, three border
patrol guards and three
soldiers - during a four-hour
rampage with machinegiins,
bazookas and grenades'
before they were killed by
Israeli security forces. The
terrorists belonged to a
group calling Itself "The
Popular Front - The General
Command" headed by Ah¬
med \ Jabril with
headquarters in Beirut, the
same gang which claimed it
had slaughtered children in
a school bus near Avivim

children who were mowed
down by automatic fire or
grenades. Several soldiers
were among the wounded.
Considerable damage was
done to buildings in the town.

persons has a ,large im¬
migrant population and has t

terrorists infiltrated across
the Lebanese border during
the night and invaded the
town in the early morning.
They .occupied a school
building, empty because.of
the Passover holiday and
began shooting wildly at
passers-by. When security
forces rushed to the scene,
the terrorists escaped down
a hill and occupied a four-
story apartment building
murdering many of the
occupants. According to
eyewitnesses,   they   tossed
the bodies of their victims,
including children, out of
windows. .They had gone
through 'the building
systematically opening
every apartment and
murdering in cold blood the
people inside. During thatpV

Premeir Golda Meir Resigns
JERUSALEM   (WNS)  - '
Premier  Golda  Meir  has
resigned  after  the  Labor
Party failed to  end  its
facutional   dispute   over
whether  Defense  Minister
Moshe Dayan should resign.
Her resignation came a
month  after  she   put   a
coalition     government
together and may bring
about the scheduling of a
new   election   unless   all
factions of the Labor Party
and its coalition partners
can agree upon a successor
to Mrs. Meir.  Mrs. Meir
made her announcement at a
Labor Party meeting saying
"I have reached the end of
the road. I cannot carry on
any longer". She said her
decision was not "linked to
Dayan   but   to   me   per¬
sonally".   But   her   an¬
nouncement   came   after
hectic   meetings   of   the
various components of the
Labor Party which sought a
compromise-to preserve the
coalition government while
meeting the demands, both'
within the Labor Alignment
and from the opposition
Likud,      for      Dayan's
■resignation over Israel's
unpreparedness for the Yom
Kippur War.
In her resignation speech
to the Knesset, Mrs. Meir
said that since the recent
elections "I have been
watching closely develop¬
ments in the country and I
have reached the conclusion
that there is a public unrest-
which cannot be avoided"
and that the public should
have an opportunity to study ,
the possibility of a new
government: would be
capable of handling the
situation and the army was
prepared to cope with all
challenges. She called on the
nation "to ,behave not like a
.stricken people .but like a
people with >a: future open
before it.'VA     A
President Ephraim Katzir.
said he would begin con¬
sulting immediately with
various parties to select a
new premier.: HeVpraised
Mrs. Meir's immense
contributions to the national
renaissance which he said,
could not yet bev fully ap¬
preciated. He said that a
deep sense of responsibility
for the future of the State has
guided Mrs. Meir's every
action throughout her long -
career and had prompted
her to shoulder the heaviest.
burdens of leadership. ..'■   :
Meanwhile the various;
grass      roots"     protest
movements that have built
up in reaction to»the Yom
Kippur War have come,
together into one
organization and selected
Yochai Biri-Nopn, a former
naval commander and
national hero as its leader.
Among the stated aims of the
movement is the infusion of
.new blood into the national
leadership, and election
reform.
