Three Students Killed and 33 Wounded
in Attack on Hebron Islamic College
By GIL SEDAN
HEBRON (JTA) — The
place was too calm on Tues-
day to convey to any on-
looker that this was the
scene — only a few hours
earlier — of a murderous at-
tack against Arab students.
The Islamic College of
Hebron, a four-story build-

university one could spot a
large stain of blood, with the
drops of blood leading all

olive grove. The men,

tional Arab kafiyyas,
