Endless Fighting at Suez, on Israel's Borders
-
TEL AVIV (JTA)—An Israeli
soldier was killed in an artillery
duel with Egypt Tuesday along the
Suez Canal. The fire was concen-
trated south of Qantara. Another
soldier, injured six months ago by
sniper fire at the canal died Tues-
day of his wounds.
Meanwhile, two Israeli patrols
were attacked Wednesday in the
Beisan Valley. There were no Is-
raeli casualties reported. An Is-
raeli military spokesman said that
two guerrillas were killed while
trying to ambush an Israeli patrol
in northern Israel. There were no
Israeli casualties, the military
spokesman said.
An Egyptian commando raid
on an Israeli military position
in the Port Tewfik area last
Thursday was the most success-
ful enemy attack since the Six-
Day War, a military spokesman
conceded. The toll rose to seven
dead and two wounded. One

decided to join the Palestine Arm-

No casualties were reported on
the Israeli side.

Jerusalem earlier this year in
which two Israelis were killed. The
students also admitted membership

authorized possesion of explosives.
Defense counsel pleaded for clem-
ency. A 15-year-old Nablus high
school girl was given a three year
suspended sentence by a military
tribunal for assisting in acts of
sabotage and membership in an
underground terrorist organization.
Two other young women from Nab-
lus, a school directress and a
teacher, were given four year sen-
tences on the same charges. All
three were accused of recruiting
other girls for the organization.
The student's sentence was sus-
pended because of her age.

The transfer of the bodies took
place at Qantara under supervi-

An Arab saboteur was killed in
an explosion near the Banias River
on the canal's east bank. The Egyp-
