Seven dead in Arab guerrilla raid near Lebanon frontier
A 23 year old Israeli housewife died from injuries from an Arab guerrilla attack that killed her husband and brother and wounded her seven month old son and her father. The raid occurred at the family farmhouse in Kfar Yuval near the Lebanese border, prompting Israeli air strikes on Kfar Chuba in southern Lebanon and exchanges of fire along the front. The Lebanese Defense Ministry reported casualties from Israeli shelling, and WAFA said guerrillas attacked Nahariya and other frontier areas with rockets as civilians watched a basketball game.
