Five Arabs were injured when a hand grenade was thrown at a police patrol in the Nablus main square yesterday, from one of the narrow alleys leading out of the town’s casbah section. The casbah was placed under curfew. The grenade struck a policeman in the leg. He kicked it to the sidewalk where it exploded wounding five pedestrians, among them a five year-old boy and an Arab policeman. Unrest continued in several other West Bank towns yesterday but at a much lower level than a week ago.
