Punitive Measures In Palestine

ARAB HOUSES BLOWN UP. Women Used In Search For Stolen Arms.

Transcribed from the clipping

Three houses were blown up to-day at Daharia, near Hebron, as a punitive measure. Additional measures against Daharia include a fine of 2,000 pounds, already being collected from the villagers in corn, livestock and other moveables. Thirty male peasants must report themselves at Hebron daily. A number of houses have been marked for demolition corresponding to the number of rifles stolen. For every rifle that is returned one house will be exempted.
