Two Jews and an Italian nun were wounded today in continuing disorders. The Jews were injured when three hand grenades were thrown at Jewish railway guards going to Samekh from Dagania. The nun was wounded during a two-hour street battle in Nazareth when British forces drove off an Arab band which invaded the town, set fire to the Government district office and attacked a bank and the police station billets.
