Moses Palewitz, a watchman at the Jewish colony of Nahalal, was shot in the leg when he detected a band of Arab robbers in the colony about midnight and raised an alarm. Owing to the lack of surgical facilities Palewitz has been brought to the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. His condition is not serious.
Police who arrived on the scene shortly after tracked the footprints of three of the raiders to the Arab village of Maloul, where several arrests have been made.
There is no connection, the J.T.A. is assured by a representative of the Nahalal colony, between the shooting of Palewitz and the Yadjur shooting outrage.
