Jerusalem, Nov. 6.
Apart from military and police traffic, the highways of Palestine yesterday were devoid of all movement since Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath and the Arabs are on strike. In certain isolated places, however, the fighting between troops and irregulars continued.
In Bethlehem, British troops and Arab irregulars exchanged several volleys. One British soldier was wounded in the head. In Nazareth, One sergeant and one private of the Hampshire Regiment were wounded by bombs thrown by Arabs. Bombs were also thrown at the railway station at Gaza.
When Arabs and British troops were exchanging shots in Jaffa, a Jewish policeman was hit, At the frontier, a police armoured car ran off the road injuring a policeman.
The presumption is that the car was upset by an obstacle placed by Arabs.—Trans-Ocean,
