Arab infiltrators from Lebanon last night attacked two more villages along the Israel-Lebanese border, it was announced here today. As in an attack last Thursday, Arab villages in Israel were the targets.

In last night’s attacks, khaki-clad raiders opened fire on a village in which one Israeli Arab was killed and nine others, including two women and six children, were injured in bomb blasts last Thursday. They also blew up a house in a nearby village. The gang which carried out last night’s raids, like the one responsible for the earlier outrage, seemed to be trained in sabotage work.
