Israeli warplanes attacked a Palestinian guerrilla base 12 miles north of Tripoli in Syrian-controlled northern Lebanon and scored accurate hits, the army command announced in Tel Aviv. Military sources said the targets included a two-story building that served as a headquarters for guerrillas of Syrian-backed rebel Palestinian groups. There was no official word on what prompted the raid or whether there were any casualties. The last Israeli air attack against guerrilla targets was made Sept. 25 near a Palestinian refugee camp outside Sidon in south Lebanon.
