- <p>Answering five deaths, Israel deports hundreds of Palestinians
- </p>
- <p> For Palestinians living in the occupied territories,
- deportations of their brethren evoke fears that one day the
- Israelis will expel them all from their homes. So it was on
- Friday, when Israeli authorities deported to Lebanon more than
- 400 alleged activists from the Muslim fundamentalist movements
- Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The expulsions were in retaliation for
- the shooting of four Israeli soldiers and the Hamas'
- kidnap-murder of a border policeman. In the Gaza Strip, at
- weekend demonstrations to protest the expulsions, six
- Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli troops.
- </p>
- <p> The U.N. Security Council condemned the deportations,
- contending that they violated the Geneva Conventions. The
- expulsions also threatened the Middle East peace talks. In fact,
- warned the P.L.O., the Palestinian delegation will quit
- negotiations if the deportations are not reversed. Israelis and
- Palestinians in the territories are bracing for more trouble.
- Hamas has sworn to avenge the deportations, a likely trigger for
- another heavy Israeli reaction.
