...unmistakable message to Damascus and Beirut that not even a token force of Palestinians is permissible in southern Lebanon. In the midst of last week's fighting, the Israeli government pointed out, Palestinian Katyusha rockets from across the border hit the Israeli towns of Safad and Qiryat Shemona-scene of a notorious fedayeen raid in 1974, in which 18 Israelis and three Palestinians died, and 15 people were wounded. If Washington cannot persuade the Israelis to back off, however, the U.S. is bound to lose a bit of credibility among the Arabs. Explained an American diplomat involved...
What effect would the Savoy Hotel raid have on Kissinger's latest mission? In part, the answer depended on Israel's reaction to the raid. The terrorist attack was the ninth major foray into Israel by the Palestinians since Qiryat Shemona last April. All together, 62 Israelis have been killed, 170 others have been wounded; almost all were civilians.

"Kill them again! Kill them again!" some shouted. Throwing back Israeli policemen who tried to smother the flames with blankets, the crowd chanted...
...Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command is another militant splinter from the Habash group. Led by Ahmed Jebreel, 45, a onetime Syrian army officer, the General Command's hard-core force of 150 guerrillas was responsible for the Qiryat Shemona raid in Israel last spring in which an apartment house was attacked and 16 occupants were killed...
