Hinda Fischman and Samuel Dishel were killed outright, Jacob Zamir has died in hospital, and four other Jewish workers are seriously injured, following an attack made from ambush at 10 o’clock to-night on a group of Jewish labourers returning from the Nesher Cement Works to their home in the Jewish labour settlement of Yadjur, on the Haifa-Nazareth Road.
The police have been unable so far to trace the assailants, who from all signs appear to have been Arabs, or to explain the motive of the attack, which clearly is not robbery. The assailants, who seem to have been numerous, fired a volley of shots at the party as soon as the waggon carrying the labourers left the precincts of the factory.
