Almost all the Arab terrorists who fled from Jordan when the Jordanian Army attacked them last summer have been released from Israeli prisons. Many of them are now holding jobs in Israeli territory. There were 108 Arab terrorists who gave themselves up to Israeli forces after crossing the Jordan River during the Jordanian government’s onslaught. Of these, 94 were subsequently released after it was established that they had not personally taken part in any action against Israel. The remaining 14 are awaiting court decisions. They could be prosecuted for taking part in action against Israel or for armed infiltration against Israel.
