Israeli Warplanes Strike Jordan and Suez Fronts
Israeli warplanes attacked Arab guerrillas in Jordan after the group fired on an army patrol and planted two mines near a settlement southeast of the Sea of Galilee. The raid burned two Jordanian army vehicles, with light anti air fire reported and no casualties. Across the Suez Canal, Israel and Egypt traded artillery as long range raids continued. President Nasser stopped in Tripoli after the Arab summit, while Libyan leader Kadafi married the daughter of a political figure, amid tensions over the summit’s lack of unity against Israel. Yasir Arafat arrived in Algiers for a two day meeting of Palestinian committees as the conference proceeds.
