Two Arabs were convicted by an Israeli military court here yesterday on charges of being spies, and were sentenced to long prison terms–one to 25 years, the other to 20 years.
The men had been arrested by Israeli security forces near the Gaza strip, along the Egyptian frontier. They were found guilty on ten counts, charged with illegal possession of arms, attempting to pass information to the enemy, and entry into a restricted area without permission.
