The Israel-Egyptian Mixed Armistice Commission condemned Israel today for the Israel-Egyptian battle along the Gaza strip border last week.
The MAC, which convened in emergency session early this morning to hear an Egyptian charge that Israel troops had crossed the border to blow up an Egyptian military command post and kill and wound nearly 70 persons, also rejected an Israel complaint about Egyptian military intelligence activities inside Israel coupled with murderous attacks on Israel citizens.
In an announcement here, Israel authorities declared that they would appeal both MAC decisions to the Israel-Egyptian Appeals Committee. The committee will probably be headed by UN truce supervisor Gen. E.L.M. Burns, who reportedly will fly to UN headquarters later this week to report on the Gaza incident and the situation along the border.
