GAZA, May 2 (AP)—An Egyptian official charged that an Israeli armed fishing boat captured an Arab fishing craft a mile and a half off the Gaza Strip’s north shore today. The number of Arab fishermen aboard the captured boat was not known. Egypt lodged a protest with the chairman of the Mixed Armistice Commission and demanded that the vessel be returned immediately.
