Arabs, British
Troops Clash
JERUSALEM, UP) — Jewish
sources said British troops clashed
today with 300 volunteers of an
“Arab People’s Army’’ which
crossed the border from Syria and
attacked a Jewish settlement in
Upper Galilee.
These informants said two set
tlers were injured in a two-hour
battle with the Arabs in the first
large attack by forces from across
the Syrian frontier. The inform
ants speculated whether the Arabs
were led by Fawzi Kaukji, one of
the chiefs of the Palestine Arab
revolt of 1916^
Jewish sources said the Arabs
arrived in trucks and, before at
tacking near Szolb, a collective
settlement named for the Ameri
can philanthropist Henrietta Szolb
struck at the nearby settlement of
Dan and blew up a water pipeline.
New deaths by violence in the
Holy Land brought to 643 the toll
