A two-story private home in the Upper Galilee was rocked by an explosion today which was caused, according to authorities, by explosives placed under the structure by terrorists penetrating from Lebanon. None of the residents were at home during the time of the explosion, which was reported to have seriously damaged the interior of the home. Police reported that the terrorist attack was one of the deepest penetrations by saboteurs from Lebanon. A resident of Raffah in the Gaza Strip was reported injured last night by an Israeli patrol, after he ignored the call to halt and started to flee. The injured resident was hospitalized. Meanwhile, another Arab, Fayek Aduwan, was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by a military tribunal in Nablus for heading an arms-smuggling ring which provided terrorists in the Samaria district with arms. Aduwan reportedly smuggled pistols with silencers in watermelons whose interiors he carved out, and smuggled explosives in taxis and cars.
