Mideast situation – Letter from Lebanon

Letter dated 24 July 1975 from the Permanent Representative of Lebanon to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General

Upon instructions from my Government, I have the honour to inform you of the following:

On 23 July 1975, at 0120 hours, Israeli forces crossed the southern Lebanese border in the vicinity of the villages of Kfar Kala and Wadi Houra, where they demolished two houses and kidnapped seven persons.  The names of those kidnapped are:  Mohammad Uqail Hammoud, Assad Mohammad Uqail Hammoud, Mohammad Amin Uqail Hammoud, Moussa Moussa Shami, Ahmad Ali Nairn, Nimr Yahya and Moussa Raslan.  Furthermore, as a result of this operation, two persons were wounded and 29 houses were damaged.
On 23 July, at 0400 hours, Israeli soldiers fired their automatic weapons at a vehicle on a road within the Lebanese frontier between El-Aadaisseh and Kfar Kala and wounded three passengers.
On 23 July, between 1650 and 1655 hours, the Israelis fired two explosive shells, hitting the eastern entrance of the village of Ain Ibl, resulting in the  deaths of two persons, Muna El-Amoury and Bassam Sader, and the wounding of seven others.

I have the honour to request that this letter be circulated as an official document of the General Assembly and the Security Council.
