Leaflets urging residents of the West Bank to go on strike June 5, the sixth anniversary of the start of the Six-Day War, were distributed today throughout the Judaea-Samaria regions. The leaflets were signed by “The Front of Popular Resistance.” They exhorted the West Bankers to demonstrate unity “against the Israeli conquerors.” Inscriptions with similar slogans were daubed on walls in various West Bank towns. A Palestinian flag was hoisted today at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. Police promptly removed it.
