ARMED Jews on Saturday [April 13] raided two military camps in the Nathanya area [Pales­tine], stole arms, blew up a bridge and damaged a police armoured-car with a mine, says a delayed report which has now reached Jerusalem.

Six armed Jews dressed as Italian “collaborators” held up the guard at a convalescent camp, locked them in the guard room and made off with five tommy-guns, five rifles and a pistol. Forty minutes later, between 10 and 15 armed Jews overpowered the guard in the armoury of the Nathanya leave camp, but withdrew after taking only one Italian carbine. The police have arrested a Jew found with a home-made hand-grenade.

[Meanwhile, as reported from London,] A monument inscribed “Israel and the world will remember the 30,000 Jews exterminated in the Belsen Camp at the hands of the murderous Nazis. Do not hide the blood which was shed on thee”, was unveiled on the site of the camp on Sunday [April 14] — the first anniversary of liberation of its inmates, the British News Service in Germany said on Sunday night, reports Reuter from London. The ceremony was arranged by the Central Jewish Committee in the British Zone.
