Ten Gaza Strip residents were arrested after about 70 were questioned in connection with last week’s wave of mining and shooting incidents in the area. Charges of subversive activities will be brought against them. Strong anti-Jordan feelings were expressed in Gaza as hundreds of residents took part in the funeral of three Gaza residents who were killed when a car, carrying a father and son, hit a mine Aug. 17. The mining was one of two such incidents. Many Gaza residents blamed the blast, which killed Rashid Mouhamed el Galani, 70, his son, Ali Commap, 40, and a passerby, on Jordanian terrorists. The two car passengers were members of one of the richest and most important families in Gaza. Another reported cause of the anti-Jordan sentiment was the fact that the Jordanian authorities have prevented Gaza Strip residents from visiting Jordan.
