By HAL McCLURE
JERUSALEM (AP) - An
armed clash erupted on Israel’s
border with Syria today, bring-
ing-the first fatalities since the
Middle East crisis broke out. Is-
rael’s army spokesman said two
Israelis and a Syrian were
killed.
The fighting came a few hours
after the appointment of Gen.
Moshe Dayan, a vigorous fight-
ing man and architect of Is-
rael’s triumph over Egypt in
the Suez war of 1956, as defense
minister. Israel looked to Day-
an to prosecute a vigorous pol-
icy.
The skirmishing was near the
village of Kfar Hanassi, popu-
lated by settlers from the Unit-
ed States. It is less than a mile
from Syrai’s border.
An Israeli army spokesman
said a patrol encountered four
armed Syrians as they were re-
turning to Syria. Found near the
Syrian’s body were a sub-
machine gun, two antiperson-
nel mines and ammunition.
