United Nations observers were today investigating an attack last night on an Israel village in the Negev by infiltrators from Egypt.
The attackers blew up a house in Sharsheret, 12 miles from the Gaza strip border, with hand grenades. One man, an occupant of the house, was wounded. Israel complained about the incident to the Israel-Egyptian Mixed Armistice Commission.
