A new Jewish settlement, Mishmar Hashlosha (Hebrew for Guard of the Three) was established today between Yavniel and Bet Gan in Commemoration of three Jewish colonists slain there by Arabs on March 14. The slain settlers were Gedalia Geler, Moshe Zalman ben Sassoon, both of Poland, and Yehuda Eliovitz, son of a Yavniel colonist.
