Israeli officials handed over to Jordanians today the body of a Jordanian infiltrator who was killed last week in a clash between a group of infiltrators and Israeli helicopter troops.
A second member of the guerrilla group was killed inside Jordanian territory in the running battle between the Israeli troops and the infiltrators. The saboteurs blew up a water tank at Arad six miles inside Israel, the deepest penetration by infiltrators to date. One of the two Israelis wounded in the clash has left the hospital and the other is recovering.
