Four Arab terrorists were killed this morning near Metullah in the northern part of the Galilee region, in a clash with Israeli soldiers. There were no Israeli casualties. Military sources said the terrorists infiltrated Israeli territory from Lebanon and had only gotten several hundred yards into Israel when Israeli forces spotted them hiding in an apple plantation. The terrorists were killed in an exchange of fire. Dressed in civilian clothes, the terrorists carried Soviet-made rifles, explosives and a large amount of ammunition.
