A former Jewish legionnaire, Joseph Benjamini, was killed, and two former legionnaires were injured when a group of 30 Bedouins attacked their settlement in Wadi Hawareth yesterday.
British police stationed close by did not intervene until after the clash ensued, although it was preceded by a quarrel. The Bedouins escaped the police, but two were captured later by members of the colony.
Some of the settlers in the colony hail from the United States.
