Fedayeen - A Reminder

When referring to Arab terror, I always include the activities of the fedyeen who were active beteen 1949-1956.

But I now realize that many, too many of the younger generation really don;t know to what I am referring.

So, here's one example, tajen from the Bnai Brith Messenger of November 30, 1956:

Egyptian trained Fcdayeen commandos formerly based in the Gaza strip have escaped to Jordan, where they have now joined other Fedayeen groups in greatly increased raids against Israel. Correspondents in Washington, D. C. have quoted "Arab sources in Washington" during the past few days as being "delighted" at hews of these raids, and promising "more raids tonight and more tomorrow " Since Nov. 2, when this increased activity started from Jordan and Syria, up to Nov. 13, reports have been received of 30 separate hostile' actions against Israel'. A list of these attacks follows: November 21. Egyptian-trained Fedayeen operating from Jordan active in Negev. attacking vehicles and sabotaging water installations.1. Fedayeen squad attacks civilian bus traveling on Wadi Ara road near frontier with Jordan.3. Border patrol vehicle on way! to investigate bus attack blown up by landmine.4. Fedayeen group blows up railroad track near Givat Brenner.5. Telephone lines cut near Yavne. November 4. 6.

Need I remind you that Israel "occupied" Judea, Samaria amd Gaza only in 1967 and had built no "settlements" up until then in those areas?
