Israeli officers have established contacts with officers of the dissident Lebanese Moslem army and three meetings have been held at Rosh Hanikra at the Israel-Lebanon border, it was reported tonight by Kol Israel. The meetings, which have been arranged through the United Nations Mixed Armistice Commission, are a continuation of meetings held previously with Lebanese army officials. The dissident army presently controls southern Lebanon and is the only authority with which Israel can deal. The dissidents, like Israel, oppose the Syrian presence in Lebanon.
