A brief exchange of fire took place shortly after midnight today between Jordanian positions opposite the Beisan Valley and an Israeli patrol on the West Bank, near Tirat Zvi. The firing, which lasted for about five minutes, followed a series of explosion in the neighborhood of Maoz Chaim. An investigation found no evidence of sabotage. It is believed that Jordanian mortar shells exploded harmlessly in a field. No casualties were reported.
