Israeli Patrols Kill 19 El Fatah Intruders TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israeli forces, supported by helicopter- borne paratroopers, killed 13 heav- ily armed El Fatah marauders in a short, fierce battle in the barren hills north of Jericho Sunday. Three Israeli soldiers were report- ed to have been hit in the battle, according to an account given by another soldier to newsmen on the scene. The action brought to 19 the number of El Fata saboteurs killed by Israeli forces since last Thursday night. One El Fatah man was wounded and captured in Sunday's action. A military spokesman announced that two Israeli soldiers were wounded when Egyptian forces opened fire from the west bank of the Suez Canal. (Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, chief of the United Nations cease- fire observer corps in the Middle East, reported to the Security Council that Israel had "breached" the cease fire several times that day in the Suez Canal area. He al- leged that in each case Israeli troops had opened fire.) PARIS (JTA) — Abdel Haimid, an Iraqi intellectual, was attacked and beaten by Egyptian students here following a letter published in the newspaper Le Monde in which he urged Arabs to accept the existence of Israel. Israel Dons Festive Garb for Anniversary of Independence (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) JERUSALEM—Half-a-million Is- raelis and tourists from abroad viewed the Independence Day Pa- rade Thursday in a Jerusalem all decked out with lanterns of silver and gold strung along the streets. Giant murals depicting scenes from Israel's history hung from the walls of buildings in the main squares. Many streets were closed to traffic. The principal highways leading to and from Jerusalem be- came one way in order to speed traffic. In the morning, they car- ried vehicles entering the city only. In late afternoon, when the festivi- ties were over, the direction was reversed for the outward rush. - ) Israeli military forces and po- lice took elaborate precautions to protect the celebrations from possible sabotage and terrorist strikes - by Arab marauders. Po- lice check posts were set up on all major highways leading to the big cities and all vehicles coming from occupied territories were meticulously inspected. A heavily armed El Fatah band that was waylaid and destroyed by Israeli forces north of Jericho Sun- day morning is believed to have been on a special sabotage mis- sion, the target of which was the Independence Day parade in Jeru- salem. Two Israeli soldiers, one of them an officer, were killed and another soldier wounded in that encounter. Thirteen El Fatah men were killed. It was disclosed that the El Fatah carried civilian clothing in addition to large quantities of am- munition, assault weapons, food supplies and first aid equipment. Apparently, some of them planned to mingle with the crowds along the parade route. There was considerable nervous- ness and in some cases near panic among Arabs and Jews in the Old City over possible terrorist strikes at Israel's Independence Day Pa- rade. The London Telegraph's cor- respondent said one Arab told him "There are more El Fatah com- mandos inside Israel than the Is- raelis suspect. What will happen to us if one of them throws a grenade?"
