...Cabinet instructed the Premier to discuss only those proposals contained in the Camp David accords, thus technically ruling out any negotiation of the settlement policies. Begin's basic argument is that Israel must protect itself against attack, and it was reinforced last week when Palestinian terrorists struck a kibbutz along the Israeli-Lebanese border...

To dramatize that message, at the funerals for the slain kibbutz members, Begin declared: "We are no longer defenseless. Permit me to say we have a really magnificent army-you saw it yesterday." Within 48 hours of the kibbutz rescue operation, the Israeli army had rolled across the Lebanese border...
