Nine at Nahhalin
Transcribed from the clipping
“It was midnight. Hefting automatic weapons, hand grenades, mines and Molotov cocktails, 240 Israelis crossed the armistice line and knifed into the Jordan village of Nahhalin.”
Context added by this archive
San Francisco, filed under a standing heading that reads ISRAEL. The prose is vivid about the weapons and silent about who lived there. The Jordan village again.
