Four terrorists were killed in widely separated clashes with Israeli patrols last night and this morning. No Israeli casualties were reported. A military spokesman said two terrorists on the “wanted list” were gunned down this morning near the Shatti refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. Two more terrorists were shot to death on a ridge of Mt. Hermon last night where a gang from Lebanon was attempting to infiltrate Israeli territory. Israeli units, firing after the retreating gang, said they may have inflicted more casualties. A military spokesman reported that a terrorist was killed earlier in the week in the El Bourej refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. The bodies of two terrorists were discovered in the Strip near Beth Lahiyah along with a quantity of firearms. They were believed to have been killed in a clash between rival gangs.
