Troop reinforcements were called today to repulse Arabs who attacked the Agricultural Bank quarter of Tel Aviv and a police post between Jerusalem and Jaffa as disorders entered their twenty-fifth week.

The police post, about 40 miles from Jerusalem, was subjected to a heavy barrage of rifle fire. When the defenders had exhausted their ammunition, they sent an S.O.S. to Jerusalem for aid. Troops were despatched to the scene, who engaged and routed the rebels.
