A flock of 480 sheep were stolen from Israel by Jordanian marauders who wounded the shepherd and stole his gun before driving off the flock. They drove the animals across the Jordan line near Megido.

(The New York Times reported from Jordan territory today that the Jordan authorities have informed United Nations truce headquarters that they are prepared to return the sheep after a UN investigation.)
