Israel Air Force jets continued intermittent daylong attacks on Egyptian targets in the Suez Canal zone today. Israeli jets were active over the waterway last night, pounding bunkers, artillery and mortar batteries and fortifications. All aircraft returned safely to their bases, a military spokesman reported. Israeli jets went into action against guerrilla bases on the southwest slopes of Mt. Hermon in Lebanon today following a Katyusha rocket attack on Kiryat Shemona this morning in which two residents were slightly injured. The air attack lasted a half hour and all planes returned safely, a military spokesman said. The victims of the rocket assault were Eliahu Perez, 58 and Benjamin Joseph, 56 who were waiting at a bus stop when they were struck by shell fragments. Both were hospitalized. Both are employed at Jewish National Fund afforestation sites.
