Syrian artillery fired on Israeli positions today for the third successive day while the orderly withdrawal of Israeli forces from the west bank of the Suez Canal continued on the Egyptian front. An Israeli military spokesman said a number of artillery shells were fired by the Syrians at Israeli forces near Tel Fares on the Golan Heights. There were no casualties. Syrian shell fire Saturday killed one Israeli soldier and wounded two in a three-hour exchange of fire. Yesterday a five-hour artillery exchange occurred on the Heights.
