At least two British and two Arab policemen were wounded today during a daring attack of terrorists on two police stations in the Tel Aviv suburbs of Neveh Shaan and Abu Kebir.

An official communique issued by the authorities states that the attack was carried out “by a number of youths.” The policemen guarding the stations replied with fire when the terrorists threw bombs which exploded at the stations. A battle developed between the police and the terrorists during which the latter threw more bombs to cover themselves. Ten of these bombs exploded. No other casualties are as yet reported beyond the four wounded policemen.
