All Jews in the Italian North African colony of Tripoli, are now forbidden to leave their homes between four o’clock in the afternoon and six o’clock in the morning, under an order issued by the military commander of the colony, it was learned here today. The order which followed the British capture of the Axis Libyan stronghold of Benghazi, was issued “because all Jews are suspected of pro-British activities.”
