But in northern Israel, a salvo of rockets fired from Palestinian positions in south Lebanon screamed early today into the border settlement of Rosh Hanikra near the Mediterranean coast, causing no injuries or damages. An army spokesman said Israeli artillery gunners in the area observed the cease-fire and did not pound the suspected sources of the rockets, and the rest of the border region also was quiet. Lebanese rightists backed by Israeli troops and tanks inside Lebanon and joint Palestinian-Lebanese leftist forces ceased most firing at 10 a.m Monday (4 am. EDT), though some scattered exchanges occurred after the deadline. It will take at least 36 to 48 hours to see whether it (the cease-fire) is for keeps, the Western diplomat said in Beirut.

It would be the first real proof for Washington the Israelis want peace. American and Israeli officials also said the cease-fire ending 10 months of fighting that had intensified in the past 10 days had taken hold except for a Palestinian salvo of Soviet-made rockets that wounded eight persons in two Israeli towns.

A Lebanese reporter in the south said only scattered rocket, shell, and machine-gun exchanges had marred the cease-fire Monday, and that the rocky farmland seemed to be at peace again. defensible by U.S. military forces.

George Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who testified before the House Comittee on International Affairs. The decision on whether to ratify the treaties will be up to the Senate, but the House has a vote on matters needed to implement the pact.
