Israel Air Force Jets smashed saboteur positions inside Jordan today following a bazooka attack from Jordanian territory on an Israeli border patrol near Gesher in the Beisan Valley. Military sources made no mention of the air strike, but Kibbutz Gesher residents said jets streaked overhead. Israel recently put into effect a policy of striking Arab marauders from the air before they can escape but the air attacks are no longer mentioned in public announcements of military activities. A military spokesman announced the ground attack on the border patrol which, he said caused no casualties.
