Fatan terrorists from Jordan and Lebanon struck again last night at Israeli collective settlements causing damage to property but no casualties. They placed explosives under a house in Kibbutz Iftan in the upper Galilee and damaged a water tank in the Bet Govrin Kibbutz in the Lachish area.
Officials said that tracks from Iftah led to the Lebanese border and from Bet Govrin to Jordan. Premier Levi Eshkol received a full report this morning and was expected to warn Israel’s Arab neighbors against such activities. Israel lodged a complaint with the Israeli-Lebanese Mixed Armistice Commission.
