The aftermath of the Six Day War was marked by the commencement of a war of attrition. The Beit She’an (Beisan) Valley, close to the Jordanian border, was often targeted by Jordanian gunners. On 1 January, a mortar attack from across the River Jordan was aimed at Kfar Ruppin in the Beisan Valley, followed by a two-hour exchange of fire between the Jordanians and Israeli forces on the West Bank, about ten miles north of Damiyah Bridge. The New Year weekend also saw grenades thrown near a cinema in Gaza, a mine exploding under an Israeli half-track in Khan Yunis, a car driver wounded by sniper fire on the Golan Heights and a firing on workers in the fields of Ein Yanav in the northern Arava near the Dead Sea. A Chinese-manufactured mine killed one soldier and injured four border policemen in their jeep near Kibbutz Gesher in the Beisan Valley.
