Arab Assassins Kill Six Jews in Palestine Riot
Four Others Killed in Tel Aviv, Jaffa
United Press, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM, Dec. 8—(UP)—Arab assassins today killed at least six Palestine Jews, including Joshua Globereman, one of the top officers of the Jewish Hagana defense force.
Globerman was shot by two Arab gunmen when he impatiently drove his automobile ahead of an escorted motor convoy traveling from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv… Arab killers worked with more boldness and efficiency than at any time since the outbreak of wild rioting against the United Nations decision to partition Palestine.”
