Israeli Raid in Syria Alarms Arab
World
By JAYSON KEYSER

MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights (AP) - Israel
bombed a target inside Syria that it claimed
was an Islamic Jihad training base, striking
deep inside its neighbor's territory Sunday for
the first time in three decades and widening
its pursuit of Palestinian militants.

The airstrike - a retaliation for a suicide bombing Saturday that killed 19 Israelis - alarmed the
Arab world and deepened concerns that three years of Israeli-Palestinian violence could
spread through the region. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for Saturday's bombing, in
which 55 people were wounded.

Washington urged both sides to show restraint - but added pointed criticism of Syria, saying
Damascus ``must cease harboring terrorists and make a clean break from those responsible
for planning and directing terrorist action from Syrian soil.''

With little option for military retaliation, Syria turned for international support. On requests
from Damascus, the U.N. Security Council and the 22-member Arab League held emergency
sessions Sunday as Syria's foreign minister Farouq al-Sharaa sought measures to deter
Israeli ``aggression.''

Syria's U.N. Ambassador Fayssal Mekdad called on the council to adopt a resolution
condemning the attack.

``Arabs and many people across the globe feel that Israel is above law,'' Mekdad said.
