The British administration pressed its drive against Arab terrorism today, haling a Syrian, Jamil Sayufi, before a military court as the owner of a large arms transport brought into Palestine, and uncovering a bomb factory in the Mejd-el-Crum village, where seven suspicious Syrians were arrested.
Curfew from six P.M. to six A.M. was imposed on Safed after Arabs had fired at Assistant Postmaster David Gaiger. One Arab was arrested. A partial strike continued in its fifth day in Hebron. Three Arabs were attacked near Illar village, one killed and the others wounded. Arab youths returning from England brought quantities of Mosley’s Fascist papers, which they are distributing freely among soldiers and police.
The first Jews to be brought before a military court are Abraham Aziz Jacob and Eliahu Brunn, on charges of possession of a revolver. Brunn six weeks ago accidentally wounded Jacob, who is still in Hadassah hospital.
