The Lebanese guerrillas captured by Israeli police and troops cross in from Syria to Lebanon this week-end were turned over to the Lebanese authorities today, following a meeting of the Israel-Lebanese Mixed Armistice Commission. Several of the 16 guerrillas were wounded.
Israeli authorities brought to the meeting samples of arms and ammunition found on the captured Lebanese and other evidence including depositions of what Syrian officers had instructed them to do in the way of guerrilla activities. Present at the session, in addition to the Israeli and Lebanese delegates, were the United Nations chairmen of the Israel-Lebanese MAC and the Israel-Syrian MAC.
