Thirty Jews, arrested early this morning near Nablus following a clash with Arabs in which two of the latter were injured, were released this afternoon after the police established that the Jews were attacked by a group of Arab bandits.
The bandits surrounded the bus on which the Jews, who were tourists, were travelling and wounded one of the pssengers. The Jews fought back, and succeeded in disarming the Arabs and destroying their weapons.
