Through the Orange Groves. Israel's revenge came as no surprise. Four days before the invasion, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan warned that the Arabs were preparing for a "new wave of terror," which Israel would take steps to contain if King Hussein of Jordan could not. Premier Levi Eshkol told the Knesset much the same thing, and Israeli Ambassador Yosef Tekoah on the same day filed two complaints with the United Nations against the Arabs' "repeated acts of aggression."

In a broadcast over Radio Amman, he promised to try to keep the terrorists from using Jordan as a base. "As of today," he said, "I shall not allow anyone to supply the enemy with pretexts and justifications for aggression." Whether...
