The United States Government deplores Israel’s bombing of Syrian territory but it also deplores the infiltration of Syrians into Israel, State Department officials declared yesterday. They emphasized that the United States traditionally deplores all border incidents and had drawn the attention of all parties concerned to the dangers such action entail.
A State Department spokesman was asked by newspapermen whether the United States was considering the suspension of arms sales to Israel because of Israel’s retaliatory action last week over the Syrian border. His answer was that the United States is not considering such a move at present.
