Lebanon has paid lip service to the guerrillas, but its army had always been under strict orders to prevent incursions into Israel. Now, declared the Beirut daily An Nahar, "Lebanon has entered the June 5 war."

On pain of facing desertion charges, Soviet enlisted men and noncommissioned officers have been forbidden to leave their rigidly secured garrisons. Even the few officers who wangle twelve-hour passes into town have strict orders to avoid contact with civilians, and they often gaze longingly into the display windows of sweetshops without ever working up the courage to go inside and buy something.
