Twenty-one Israeli soldiers were wounded in Lebanon Friday when their bus came under small arms and bazooka fire near Kfar Sil south of Beirut. Two of the attackers were killed in the chase that ensued, a military spokesman reported. Most of the soldiers sustained only slight wounds, the spokesman said. The attack raised Israeli casualties in Lebanon to six dead and 25 wounded in the last three weeks. Responsibility for the latest attack was claimed by a group calling itself the Lebanese National Resistance Front.
