Tel-a-viv Casualties Total 228
(Received noon.) RUGBY, September 12. Casualties resulting from the Italian raid on Tel-a-Viv totalled 228 people, of whom 104, including 96 Jews, seven Arabs and one Australian, were killed. The remainder were seriously wounded. The raid has done nothing to lower the exceptionally high morale of the Jewish population, and the Arab reaction, both in Jaffa and its neighbourhood, is one of warm sympathy with the Jewish sufferers and intense anger against the Italians. Pamphlets which the Italians dropped among the Arab population have been treated with scorn. The Mayor and members of the Municipal Council at Jaffa—all of them Arabs—attended a mass funeral of Jewish victims of the raid.
