Many wounded in three fights
United Press, Jerusalem
Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM (U.P.) — The Jewish Haganah organization asserted yesterday that 67 Arabs and 14 Jews had been killed, and many scores of Arabs wounded, in three separate clashes. Unconfirmed reports said last night that 12 Arabs had been killed also in a Jewish attack on the village of Ein Ghazal, south of Haifa.
If confirmed, this would bring the total death toll in 24 hours to 93.”
