Two Israelis were killed and at least one was wounded today as Jordanian infiltrators attacked farmers at work in fields, vehicles along the highways and a train–all in the Kfar Saba area.
The two men killed today were soldiers while the wounded man was a settler at Kibbutz Nir Eliahu. The Jordanians kept up a withering fire for hours in various parts of the area.
