Citing security reasons, Israel tightens its grip on Rafah. Three die in missile attack, say Palestinians.
How this transcription was made
The scan is the three-line headline and the two-line summary; there is no body text on it to transcribe.
Context added by this archive
The headline is four words and a past participle with nothing attached: a camp hit. The summary underneath names Israel, gives its reason first — citing security reasons — and then hands the three dead to the Palestinians to claim: say Palestinians. The tightening is reported; the dying is attributed.

This record is part of Covering Palestine, an archive of American newspaper clippings about Palestinians, 1724 to 2023. Researched and assembled by Maria Robles.
The clipping belongs to the newspaper that printed it, or to the news agency that supplied the copy. It is reproduced here for research, criticism and commentary. A city here is where the newspaper was published, not where the story came from, and on most records it was taken from the masthead.
