An Egzptian spokesman said an attack by nine Israeli armored cars exploded a 45-minute gun duel. An Israeli spokesman said three Egyptian attempts to invade Israel in that area were repulsed. Neither side reported casualties.

Patrol Keeps Going By Israeli account the Egyptians blasted with medium weapons at an Israeli motorized patrol in the Ain Hashlosha zone opposite the lower section of the Gaza strip. The patrol returned the fire, a military spokesman said, and proceeded on its way with no losses. Medium weapons in the border skirmises include mortars and machine guns.
