Two Arab infiltrators from the Gaza Strip were killed last night in a clash with an Israeli patrol. Two Israeli soldiers were wounded.

The clash occurred after midnight when the patrol intercepted the two Arabs who began shooting when they were challenged. The patrol returned the fire, killing the two Arabs. Two submachineguns were found near the bodies. Another Arab infiltrator was captured last night near the Jordanian border.
