Intercepted above Israel's northernmost settlement |of Metullah, were chased back Across their own territory.
Syrian casualties and damage were estimated to be "much high¬ er" than Israel's. Fifty houses were leveled by the Israelis In the abandoned Syrian village of Ta¬ wafik, which the • Syrian Army had turned into a garrison over¬ looking the Israeli settlements In and near the demilitarized zone, southeast of Lake Tiberias.
