A new organization set up here to protect the Sabbath pinpointed its first target as sight-seeing Israelis using the Sabbath to visit the occupied areas of Samaria, Judea and the Golan Heights.

The National Organization for the Sabbath also proclaimed its objection to motor touring of the holy places on the Sabbath, and asserted that it would organize a corps of “Sabbath Activists” to guard the sanctity of the day.
