Israeli air force jets on Tuesday attacked the training bases of two Palestinian terrorist groups east of the port city of Sidon, in southern Lebanon.
The targets were the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, headed by Ahmed Jabril, and the splinter Tala’at Yacub faction. They are opposed to Yasir Arafat’s control of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
