Three clashes took place over the week-end between Jewish settlers at Kibbutz Hagovrim, near the Syrian border, and Syrian soldiers, resulting in the wounding of one Syrian, according to an announcement by the Israel Army spokesman today.

An Egyptian patrol crossed the Israel border near the settlement of Mazen today, but rapidly redressed it when an Israel frontier unit opened fire.
