A bomb exploded yesterday near the ancient Wailing Wall, center of religious dispute, as terrorism continued in various parts of the country. Three Arabs were arrested after the bombing.

Haarotz, Hebrew daily, reported today that police discovered a center of terrorists in Haifa supported by Nazi funds. Thirteen members of a band led by Kassam were arrested and deported to Syria, the report says.

Two Arabs were sentenced to one year’s imprisonment each by a Palestinian court for agitating for an anti-Jewish boycott.
