Egypt has committed twenty-three acts of aggression and espionage against Israel since the Nitzana cease-fire went into effect on November 4, while nine sabotage attacks against Israel were carried out during the same period by Egyptian “fedayeen” operating out of Jordan, according to an Israel complaint filed with the Security Council here this week-end.
The complaint was in the form of a three-page letter handed to Nasrollah Entezam of Iran, this month’s president of the Council, by Mordecai R. Kidron, deputy chairman of the Israel delegation to the United Nations.
