Bombs could be heard exploding in Jerusalem and Jaffa all night, although the amount of damage and casualties in outlying sections has not yet been determined.
Jerusalem has assumed the as pect of a beleaguered town, with armoured cars patrolling the de serted streets and military pa- trols with rifles at the ready.

Such an interpretation is not dis- credited in some well-informed cir- cles in Jerusalem.
