...they have. In the North, where more than 194 Protestants and Catholics have been killed since January, 1976 is shaping up as the bloodiest year since the violence began seven years ago. The violence in the North has become random. Gunmen burst into pubs and spray customers with automatic-weapons fire, then disappear. Earlier in July, a terrorist shot a pregnant woman, who later gave birth to a child-with a bullet in its back. If there is any "rational" target of the gunmen now, it is the British, who are blamed by both sides for preventing either side from...
...warring leftist Moslem and rightist Christian forces. On the day the Jalloud agreement was announced last week, rightist forces launched a savage attack on two Palestinian camps in the predominantly Christian eastern section of Beirut. More than 150 were killed and well over 200 wounded in one of the bloodiest weeks of Lebanon's civil war. If the Christians should take over the well-defended refugee camps, they will have carved a de facto province of their own that extends from eastern Beirut to the northern port of Jounieh and into the mountains farther east...
...official chamber had been sacked during the fighting and is still not secure, the deputies met in a villa, near the Beirut race track, that was supposed to be on neutral ground. The site turned out to be the scene of some of the week's bloodiest clashes...
...Lebanon had known only the politics of death. Now, said Kamal Jumblatt, leader of Lebanon's leftist National Movement, "the path is open for beginning a political solution." He spoke as he accepted a cease-fire (the 24th in five months) that ended, at least temporarily, one of the bloodiest passages in the country's endless civil war. An estimated 1,500 were killed last week, even as negotiations were going on, in fierce fighting between right-wing Christians and the combined forces of Moslems, leftists and fedayeen. That raised the death total since last April to nearly...
...bloodiest week ever in relations between the Arabs and Jews of Israel. In twelve hours of confrontation, six Israeli Arabs were shot dead, scores suffered gunshot wounds and 288 were arrested. Stones hurled by enraged Arabs injured 38 policemen. The clash between Israeli fellow citizens in the Galilee area was uglier and more violent than the recent troubles on the Israeli-occupied West Bank (TIME, March 29); in fact, only two Arabs have been killed and a few wounded on the West Bank since February. At week's end, Israeli Arabs and Jews alike were desperately trying to assess...
