Seven infiltrees were killed and two wounded, while 16 were arrested last week during clashes with Israel border patrols, a military spokesman announced here today.
The spokesman also disclosed that a private car travelling along a road in northern Israel Sunday was fired upon by several armed men who were then seen to withdraw toward the Lebanese border. Israel will demand a meeting of the Israeli Lebanese Mixed Armistice Commission to discuss the incident, the sixth along the Lebanese frontier in recent weeks. Israel will demand that the Lebanese authorities take immediate steps to halt the attacks, the spokesman said.
