molition squads today severed the
east-west highway into strategic
ally important Beisan Valley south

dom, and the Jewish-held sea coast

out, it would eliminate a threat to
Arab troop movement across the
Upper Jordan.

in the Nazareth district.
Fighting in Northern Palestine
during the last "a hours repeatedly
took the lives of five Arabs and two

Kesher was identified as Eli Ben
xvi, son of Isaac Ben Xvi, executive
chairman of the Jewish National
Council CVAADD Leumi.
Arab legionnaires from Trans
Jordan moved into Palestine yes

troll of two Arab districts in the
Hebron region. They are the first
