One Jordanian Arab infiltrator was killed and one Israeli border patrolman was injured, in two incidents along the Jordan border last night.
A group of Jordanians attacked an Israeli tractor driver at Ein Yahav, a settlement in the Araba sector, near the main highway leading southward to Eilat. In this exchange, an Israeli patrol returned the fire but not until one Israeli soldier had bee wounded.
In the second instance, in the same area, an Israeli border patrol intercepted a group of infiltrators who had come in from the Jordanian side. Here, one Arab was killed and a second captured.
