Israel Air Force jets attacked a Palestinian terrorist base in the Syrian-controlled Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon today and returned safely to their bases. A military spokesman said the target was a base used by a group known as the Palestinian Arab Revolutionary Committees for staging terrorist attacks in Israel. He said hits were scored on four buildings. Today’s air raid was the first since August 8 when Israeli war planes hit a Palestinian base near Barr Elias in the Bekaa Valley.
