68. Plan Delet was a military plan for removing civilians from cities . .

. . along the front that would form from the invasion by the various Arab Armies. It was to gain control of areas through which the IDF expected attack and also to eliminate the possibility of a fifth column developing at the IDF's rear. It was nothing close to a declaration of war because, like all military plans, its existence was not even known to the Arabs until after the war.

Pappe and Khalidi and others have of course deceptively claimed that it was a plan to conquer Palestine.
