British Air Attacks
On Italy Resumed
After Long Lapse
Syracuse, Naples R. A. F.
Targets, Rome Reports;
IA Declared Killed
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, July 10.-ReneWal of Brit
ish air attacks on Italy proper after
a lapse of many weeks was reported
today by the Italian high command
"a low-level daylight thrust at
Syracuse and a blow by night at
Naples which resulted in IA civilians
killed and 80 injured.
Whether these were to be isolated
operations or the opening of sus-
tanned offensive similar to the R. A.
r. action against Germany, now
more than a month old, remained to
be seen. So far as the Italian COM
munique indicated. the two places
were attacked without challenge
from the Italian air force.
Naples, on the Italian mainland,
was last bombed in January. Syra-
cuse is about $50 miles to the south,
on the southeast coast of the big
island of Sicily. Sicilian airports
and other objectives have been
bombed repeatedly by the British
to counteract Axis operations in
North Africa.
No casualties were listed for the
raid yesterday afternoon on SYRIA
cuse.
The Syracuse population is about
10000, while Naples. with a popula-
ton of nearly 100000, is Italy's
second largest city, a major sea-
port and one Of the most important
manufacturing centers of Italy.
The high command said British
planes also attacked an Italian
ambulance seaplane in the Sicily
Channel. Italian fighters were
credited with downing one British
plane.
