Verso, upper half (typed plack ink): "Israeli HQ in Tyre ombed by suicide mission. Distrib 83-238 / 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 Muslem [incorrectly corrected to 'Muslem' from 'Muselm'] group."
