Three Jews, one of them a girl, were wounded today in continuing disorders. Two were shot by Arabs near the Jaffa Gate Here. A Jewish girl was wounded when snipers fired upon a bus in Haifa.

Dan Liber, Jewish youth who was wounded Monday in the land mine explosion at Sheikh Abreik, died today. His two companions were killed in the blast. Troops who traced the terrorists responsible for the explosion to the nearby German Christian colony of Waldheim last night searched the colony, in the presence of the German Consul General, without results or arrests. The colonists had originally objected to the search and the troops had cordoned off the colony, placing it under virtual curfew.
