There was an increase in saboteur activity along the Syrian and Lebanese fronts last week but the Suez Canal front remained quiet except for three single shots which were fired from the Egyptian side of the canal without causing injury. Three Israelis were killed last week along the Lebanese border. All activity along the borders was caused by the terrorists with no military activity reported on the part of the Lebanese and Jordanian armies.
