More War Seen Certain In Palestine
Tel Aviv reports ongoing fighting in the Negev with a possible additional military campaign before peace. An Israeli spokesman says the second southern desert offensive crossed partition lines, and Bier Ashir was captured on the Beersheba to Auja road though not crossing the UN boundary. Egypt says it bombed and pursued retreating forces while losses were heavy. A camel caravan supplying Falujah garrison was captured as fighting persisted with Gaza near isolation. Observers expect a final offensive by spring, likely in central Palestine around Jenin Tulkarm and Nablus rather than the Negev.
