Casualties
In Arab Attack
Tel. Aviv (JTA) — A 24-
year-old yeshiva student
from Jerusalem was fatally
stabbed and three other
Israelis were wounded one
morning when three Arabs
from the West Bank attack-
ed passengers aboard a bus
north of Tel Aviv.
One of the assailants was
killed and his two compa-
nions were wounded in the
melee that followed the
stabbings.
All of the injured were
treated at Beilinson
Hospital in Petach Tikva,
where the student, Baruch
Eisler, died while undergo-
ing surgery. He was buried
in Jerusalem.
The incident was the latest
in a wave of revenge attacks
by Arabs on Jews that began
after the Oct. 8 Temple
Mount riots, in which Israeli
border police killed at least
17 Arab stone- throwers.
This latest incident follow-
ed by only a few hours a
grenade attack in the heart
of Tel Aviv, which might
have caused high casualties
had the grenade not failed to
explode.
The hand grenade was
tossed from a speeding car
into crowded Dizengoff
Street, Tel Aviv's main
shopping and entertainment
thoroughfare.
The stabbings occurred on
a No. 66 bus of the Dan line,
which operates interurban
service in the Tel Aviv area.
Eyewitnesses said three
Arabs boarded the Petach
Tikva-to- Tel Aviv bus near
Tel Hashomer army medical
center and took seats on the
rear bench.
There were about 30 pas-
sengers on the bus at the
time. As it passed an
intersection between Bnei
Brak and Ramat Gan, the
Arabs suddenly shouted
"Allah Akhbar" (God is
Great) and stabbed the four
passengers sitting directly
in front of them.
The bus driver stopped the
vehicle, fired his pistol into
the air and then pointed it at
the three Arabs.
By chance, a police ex-
plosives expert carrying an
Uzi submachine gun was
riding in a vehicle behind
the bus. When he saw the
bus halt and heard the com-
motion, he raced toward it.
According to accounts, the
policeman fired his Uzi once
into the air as he approached
the bus from the rear. One of
the Arabs rose from his seat,
brandishing a knife, and was
shot to death by the
policeman.
