Israeli police are investigating two killings in Gaza Strip refugee camps during the past 24 hours. An Israeli patrol shot to death a resident of Rafah early this morning when he tried to escape after being stopped as a curfew violator. Police are seeking unknown assassins after the body of a 30-year-old man was found near his home in the Shatti refugee camp. Shots were heard in the camp during the night. The body of a 25-year-old man was found in the Nuezeirath refugee camp. Jordanian Army forces battled Palestinian guerrillas for two hours last night in the Jordan Valley. Residents of the Israeli border settlement of Tirat Zvi reported hearing automatic weapon and mortar fire. The Jordanians used flares to light the combat area.
