BOMBING MILITARY UNITS

Jerusalem, May 24.

Fighting has broken out in many parts of Palestine, and the British troops and police have fought with Arab raiders in many places.

The killing of one British soldier, a man believed to be named Nurclsham, is re- ported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, which says an Arab mob tried to raid a prison and when troops were rushed to the spot, fled and fired on the soldiers from cover on a hillside. One of the troops was fatally wounded.

Two Arabs have been officially reported killed and four wounded at Nablus, in fighting last night.

An Arab band exchanged shots with police, firing from barricades and from roofs. The police were forced to retreat at the outset, but when they were reinforced they restored order.
