Attacks on the Jewish settlements in Palestine cities and agricultural colonies are continuing.

In an uncensored report from Jerusalem this morning it is stated that a large band of Arabs on Monday attacked the colony Hittin, 5 kilometers from Tiberias, a settlement supported by American Jews with a population of 50 families. Troops surrounded the assailants disarming them and imprisoning many.

Attacks have also recurred in the Jerusalem suburbs. Talpioth was attacked at night, but the military repelled the assailants.

Attacks were also reported from the Jewish colonies Tel Joseph and Beth Alpha. These reports, however, have not been confirmed, General tension is still prevailing in the country.
