Israeli Patrol Kills Six Arab Infiltrators In Golan Heights
Israeli army patrol killed six Arab infiltrators from Syria in a gunfight on the occupied Golan Heights. No Israeli casualties were reported. The command also said it captured 45 Arab guerrillas linked to a broader Al Fatah sabotage network around Hebron, blamed for 19 terrorist acts in 18 months, including a December Katyusha attack on Jerusalem. An Egyptian spokesman dismissed Golda Meir's call for mutual force reductions along the Suez Canal. The army announced probes into unprovoked rough treatment of Gaza residents, with officers disciplined for ordering brutality or failing to control troops. At U.N. headquarters, Egypt circulated a doc accusing Israel of intensified violence against civilians in the Sinai and Gaza. Israel denied the charges.
