During the evacuation of the civilians one British soldier was wounded by an Arab bullet.

The mob erected barricades in the streets and stoned police officers, at the same time trying to destroy tele- graph and telephone lines and railway communications. Police fired one round during one critical moment and one Arab was killed,
