A seven-year-old Jewish boy was fatally wounded, a Jewish woman was seriously injured and another slightly injured today when a bus en route from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was fired upon near Sarid.

A Jew was fatally wounded and two were slightly injured last night when a bus en route from Haifa to the Nevei Shanaan suburb was fired upon in the Arab quarter. The fatality was David Gulko, 25, who left a wife and child.

The authorities rescinded a ban on night patrols of Jewish supernumeraries in the Southern District and Sharon Valley, ordered last week because of Arab accusations that Jews were dynamiting Arab houses in the areas. The motorized patrol, operating between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m., is considered among the most efficient defense units against terrorism.
