Fedayeen from Jordan attacked last night the home of Mrs. Rebecca Sieff in Tel Mond, near Nathanya, and blew up a watchman’s house, killing the watchman, Yehoshua Vig, and wounding his wife, Malka.
The house was about 300 feet away from Mrs. Sieff’s home. The explosion shattered windows in her house. After the blast, Mrs. Sieff attended the wounded until assistance arrived. Mrs. Sieff refused today to leave her Tel Mond home and spend a few days in Tel Aviv.
Israel has decided not to submit a complaint about the incident to the Israel. Jordan Armistice Commission. This is in line with current Israel policy which is based on the feeling that complaints to the Commission are without effect and therefore there is no sense in submitting them.
