In late afternoon they beached near a kibbutz called Ma'agan Mikha'el, then walked less than a mile up to the four-lane highway. After opening fire at passing traffic, they hijacked a white Mercedes taxi, killing its occupants. Setting off down the highway toward Tel Aviv, they met a bus on its way to Haifa...

Operation Kuwait and Eleven Bullets for Mohammed by Harry Arvay (Bantam; $1.25 each) are the noisiest and most simple-minded of all the current Kalashnikov operas. The author is an Israeli billed as a ";former undercover agent." The cover of the Kuwait book, which is about an attack on a Black September training camp, exactly describes the product: "Timebomb excitement! Nonstop action!
