About 250 relatives of men reported missing in the war and of men believed to be POWs in Syria, scuffled with guards outside the Knesset Thursday. Several demonstrators suffered minor injuries in scuffles with guards and police but no arrests were made. Windows of a Knesset gatehouse were smashed. The demonstrators demanded a halt to supplies for the Egyptian Third Army until Israeli POWs in Syria were freed and the bodies of Israeli soldiers were returned by the Egyptians.
