Thirty Arabs were arrested today in Tulezeh village and curfew was imposed on the village in connection with the attack on a party of police near Nablus last Friday in which two were killed and several wounded.
Police and troops engaged the band which Friday ambushed an automobile bearing the Mayor of Nablus and police officials, killing the Mayor’s bodyguard and an Arab policeman and wounding a British assistant superintendent of police. Several Arab casualties were reportedly inflicted in the clash.
The entire vicinity of Haifa was described as infested by small Arab bands. A band during the night attacked the colonies of Migdal, Genossa and Mizpeh. No casualties were reported. A police patrol en route to Karkur was fired on, with no casualties. Civilian traffic between Nazareth and Tiberias has been suspended because of the danger of bands roaming in the vicinity.
Itzhak Peterenko, 30 years old, died yesterday morning at Hadassah Hospital in Haifa of a bullet wound inflicted during an Arab attack near Yagur. Peterenko was struck while trying to move his child from its cradle to the floor of a hut in the Jewish colony.
