Israeli helicopter gunships rocketed the Lebanese shop of a boat dealer suspected of links with Palestine Liberation Organization guerrillas. Five people were wounded and the store in Sidon was demolished, police said. The shop owner, Mahmoud Hijazi, is suspected of renting motorboats to PLO members, police said.
