...address to the Israeli nation, Premier Golda Meir showed none of the customary joy that accompanies the Sukkoth festival. "The main thing," she said somberly, "is to conclude the war and conclude it with our victory." General Aharon Yariv, the Six-Day War's intelligence chief, who had been called back to active duty, declared: "It is not going to be a short war. The people of Israel can expect no early and elegant victories. We will have to do a lot of fighting." Or, as Major General Shmuel Gonen, commander of the southern front, said more succinctly: "This...

The director of the anti-P.L.O. operation is believed to be Major General Aharon Yariv, 51, who retired as director of military intelligence last year to become Golda Meir's "special adviser on security affairs." Yariv's operatives are probably members of Mossad ("the Institution"), Israel's equivalent of the CIA. Mossad appears to have infiltrated the guerrilla movement. In recent months at least three Arab travelers have been arrested at European airports by local police, who had been tipped off that passengers were carrying arms and explosives in their luggage.
