Israeli security authorities and services in Israel and abroad are stepping up precautionary measures in preparation for the eve of the sixth anniversary of the Six-Day War, June 5. Similar measures were also taken on the eve of Independence Day and on other dates when Arab terrorists might demonstrate. These include Nov. 2, the anniversary of the signing of the Balfour Declaration, and Oct. 29, the day the United Nations established the Jewish State.

It is believed here that Arab terrorists may use June 5 as a day for activity to prove that the recent developments in Lebanon have not undermined their ability to carry out actions against Israel. It was pointed out that because of measures taken in the past by Israelis several acts of sabotage were forestalled.
