An Arab saboteur was killed and another was wounded in a clash with an Israeli patrol near Kahn Yunis in the Gaza Strip last night. A military spokesman said both saboteurs were responsible for a rash of sabotage in the area. No Israeli casualties were suffered in the clash.
Sentences including 15 years at hard labor were pronounced on two El Fatah members convicted of sabotage by a Gaza military tribunal yesterday. Two other saboteurs received sentences of 12 and five years respectively. The marauders were captured by an Israeli patrol last May after a mining incident near Gaza. They were charged with attacking Israeli vehicles in the Gaza Strip and with planting explosives on railway tracks. Two houses in the outskirts of Gaza were demolished by Israeli sappers today. The property belonged to two local youths who admitted that they had thrown hand grenades at an Israeli Army vehicle which injured one soldier.
