Operation Dawn , code-name Fajr (الفجر) in Arabic , was a rejected Egyptian military proposal planned by General Abdel Hakim Amer , as tension built between Israel and Egypt ahead of what was to become the Six Day War . It was not approved by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser , who was committed to not attacking Israel, unless Israel attacked first.
