One Israeli soldier was seriously wounded and a second suffered minor injuries today when a patrol car set off a number of landmines in the Raffah area. Fresh tracks led from the scene of the ambush to the territory held by United Nations Emergency Force units in the Sinai territory adjoining the Gaza Strip.
This development was seen here as proof of the Israel contention that merely turning over the Gaza Strip to UN forces without prior guarantees is tantamount to inviting new fedayeen incursions. Only a short time ago several Yugoslav soldiers were wounded when they hit a fedayeen landmine in the E1 Arish area.
