The Israel freighter “Galila” will sail from Gravesend today, carrying the first shipment of arms Britain has sent to Israel since the Communists began arming the Arabs. The cargo was reported to include 16 anti-aircraft guns, 100 cases of detonators, and two mobile searchlights. A Foreign Office spokesman and the Israeli Embassy declined to comment on the shipment.
