Arabs Fled Haifa
Transcribed from the clipping
“Thousands of Arabs fled there from Haifa, across a bay, when Haifa fell to Haganah a few weeks before Israel came into being last Friday midnight. Haganah claims to have reached Ras En Naqura on the frontier to the north by bypassing Acre. Haganah’s upper Galilee radio station, said a Haifa dispatch, announced last night that a striking force had gone seven miles into Lebanon and destroyed a strategic bridge over the Litany River at a cost of one man wounded.”
