Syria's decision to end its four-day-long maneuvers in Lebanon defused some of the military tension, but a war of bellicose rhetoric continued. Arriving in Libya for a meeting with his hard-line colleague Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, Syrian President Hafez Assad declared that the U.S.-sponsored agreement for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon was "in a state of collapse and death." Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin warned that if the Syrians attacked Israel...
