Eight Arab marauders were killed in the north central and southern districts of Israel last week, according to a military spokesman here. In addition, the spokesman said, four other marauders were wounded and 32 were detained.
The Israeli spokesman commented that this is “further proof of a deteriorating situation on our borders. Despite the assurances given by Arab delegates to the mixed armistice commissions, Arab infiltrators still cross our borders in numbers.”
