Israel patrols, concealed in the area of Beit Jibrin where an Arab-laid mine exploded, killing five Israel soldiers and seriously wounding three others earlier this week, today surprised a band of Arab guerrillas attempting to set another explosive trap. The Israelis engaged the infiltrees and forced them to flee back across the border to Transjordan territory.
