Israeli HQ in Tyre Bombed by Suicide Mission: fanatical Arab guerrillas sent a suicide mission of a lorry filled with explosives, killing 39 persons at the Israeli Command Post at Tyre in Southern Lebanon. The lorry crashed through barriers, security guards fired at the driver and thus the human bomb squad missed the actual Israeli building. But the blast from a nearby ammunition depot caused extensive damage. Responsibility for the raid was claimed to be by the Islamic Holy War, and pro Iranian Shiite Muslim group
