El Fatah Spy in Israel Camps Gets Five-Year Prison Term (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) TEL AVIV—An El Fatah spy who had managed-to get a job in an Israeli army camp on the West Bank was sentenced to five years' imprisonment by a military tri- bunal in Nablus Monday. The man admitted at his trial that he had been recruited and trained in Syria and that he had infiltrated the West Bank from the terrorist base at Karacneh, in Jor- dan. He was employed in the army camp as a cleaner but his assign- ment was to provide El Fatah with information on Israeli military in- stallations. He claimed that he had refused to participate in terrorist activities in the Haifa area. Allegations in Amman that Is- raeli troops were trying daily to infiltrate across the cease-fire demarcation line into Jordan were ridiculed in official Israeli circles Tuesday. They called the charges a "fantasy" and attri- buted it to a severe case of nerves on the part of the Jor- danians. The Israeli circles noted that Jordanians . manning border posi- tions have become extremely ner- vous and trigger happy in recent weeks. They fire their weapons blindly in all directions at no par- ticular target. At night, they light up the border region by continu- ously shooting flares. Obviously, the Israelis say, they are in con- stant fear of an attack and are trying to bolster their confidence. The blind shooting has been most frequent in the border area facing the Israeli Jordan valley settle- ment of Gesher. That settlement has also come under frequent Jor- danian mortar and artillery fire. Jordanian units fired at Israeli settlements and patrols in the Beisan Valley Monday, precipi- tating a third successive day of shooting duels across the cease- fire line. A military spokesman also announced that two local Arab field workers were killed and a third injured when their truck hit a mine near Kfar Tabor. Jordanian units first fired Sun- day morning at an Israel patrol in the northern Beisan Valley, then directed small arms fire at Shaar Hagolan and then at Yardena. The fire was returned and no casual- ties were reported. Saturday, Jor- danians fired at an Israeli patrol near Neveh Urr, starting a gun duel with Israeli units. Later shooting occurred near Gesher. An Israeli soldier and a woman settler of Yardena were wounded slightly Friday when Jordanians fired mortar shells at Yardena and Gesher. Earlier Friday, they fired on a patrol in the Beisan Valley.
