REPORT ON NORTHERN PALESTINE FIGHTING<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Dr. Ralph Bunche, Â鶹APP Acting Mediator in Palestine, who is now in Paris for the General Assembly, issued his report on the recent fighting in Northern Palestine.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>The report reveals that the fighting developed as a result of the occupation by forces of Fawzi Kaukji of hill positions two kilometres within the truce lines.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Dr. Bunche said that as a result of the operations in Northern Palestine, there has been a significant change in the general military position in that area.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Israeli forces, he stated, have occupied the area in Galilee formerly occupied by Kaukji's forces, and have crossed the Lebanese frontier.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Bunche goes on to say that Israeli forces now hold positions two to six ____ inside the southeast corner of Lebanon, involving some fifteen Lebanese villages which are occupied by small Israeli detachments.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Bunche's reports reveals that Â鶹APP Observers had reported extensive looting of villages in Galilee by Israeli forces, who carried away goats, sheep and mules.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>This looting, Â鶹APP Observers report, appeared to have been systematic as army trucks were used for transportation.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>This situation, states the report, created a new influx of refugees into Lebanon.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Dr. Bunche's report will come before the Security Council at its next meeting, probably early next week.<\/p><\/div>\n
