Israeli military and police forces cordoned off today the Arab village of Tiebeh, inside Israel bit near the Jordan border in central Israel. They were looking for Arabs who blasted a building at Kfar Yavitz, near Nathanya, Sunday night.
In a house to house search, the Israeli authorities were concentrating on finding either those responsible for the bombing or persons who might have assisted them. Kfar Yavitz recently had some trouble with neighboring Arab villages in Israel over certain lands.
Meanwhile, a military spokesman revealed two more incidents today along the Egyptian border, neither of them involving any casualties to Israeli personnel, At Nir Itzhak, where a soldier was killed in a landmine explosion last week, another Israeli car was demolished by a landmine, but no one was hurt. In the vicinity of Kfar Aza a band of infiltrators was found harvesting Israeli fields, but when an Israeli patrol moved to intercept them Egyptian soldiers from inside the Gaza strip laid down a covering fire.
