Eight men wearing British uniforms tonight raided a Royal Air Force medical unit on Jabotinsky Street here, and made off with two sacks of tommy-guns and revolvers.
The armed raiders arrived in a taxi cab, which had been stolen previously. After looking the guards in a side room, they loaded the weapon into a waiting truck, which had also been stolen, and then disappeared. Later, a taxi driver was arrested.
