...attack was hardly unexpected. Since November, under an agreement with Beirut, Arab guerrillas have occupied a rugged 27-sq.-mi. section of the border near snow-topped Mount Hermon, using its hills and hollows as a base for attacks on Israeli settlements in East Galilee. In one recent 40-day period, by Israel's count, they carried out 61 attacks that killed eight Israelis, wounded 30 and brought demands for protection from settlers in the area...

From Tripoli south to Sidon, from dusty villages on the edge of the Mount Hermon massif in the east to the fashionable sea front of Beirut in the west, violence continued as Arab fought Arab. In Tripoli alone, at least 18 were dead...
