...Israeli drive into Lebanon was not merely a powerful gesture of revenge. It was a calculated maneuver to strengthen Israeli security in the north, and the P.L.O. raid only gave Israel the excuse it needed to move decisively. As one Western diplomat analyzed it, the Tel Aviv incident was "just what the Israelis had been waiting for, because they have been wanting to take over south Lebanon for a long time." Last week the Israelis proceeded to do just that as they established a buffer strip along the entire border. That leaves the Palestinians precious little breathing room between...
...better of the sporadic cross-border conflict in the area. Also, U.S. officials point out, no "security zone," however it is policed, can offer Israel much additional protection from determined attack by fanatic Palestinian guerrillas. In fact, the attackers who seized the bus on the highway to Tel Aviv struck not across the Lebanese border but from...

Instead, apparently due to a major navigational error, the outboard-powered rubber assault boats deposited the raiders on a remote beach near a kibbutz 40 miles north of Tel Aviv. The bewildered commandos, with no big hotel in sight, sat down and picnicked on the beach before deciding on an alternative plan. If not by boat, they would get to Tel Aviv...
