Letter dated 11 April  1986 from the Secretary-General addressed to the

Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations

As you have requested, your letter of 1 April 1986 has been circulated as an official document of the General Assembly and of the Security Council (A/41/259-S/17963).

I have also brought your letter to the attention of the Commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµIFIL) and asked for his comments.  General Callaghan has informed me that, after a thorough research, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµIFIL did not find any evidence to confirm that Katyushas were fired from t:he vicinity of Shaqra. He has also indicated that, after the reported explosion in Kiryat Shemona, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµIFIL observed that IDF/SLA personnel carried out a search inside the enclave south of Shaqra and that the IDF liaison officer made no accusation to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµIFIL that the firing had taken place from inside the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµIFIL area.

Since you have requested circulation or your letter as an official document of the General Assembly and of the Security Council, I shall arrange for this reply to be circulated in the same manner.

(Signed)  Javier PEREZ DE CUELLAR
