Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ammunition Hill (Hebrew: , Giv'at HaTahmoshet) was a military post in Jordanian controlled East Jerusalem, and the site of one of the fiercest battles of the Six Day War. Ammunition Hill was located across from a police academy, with a fortified trench connecting them. The site was built by the British during their Mandatory government of Palestine in the 1930s, and was used to store the police academy's ammunition. Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the post remained under control of the Jordanian Arab Legion, severing the link between Mount Scopus and West Jerusalem. In the wake of the Jordan-Israel Armistice Agreement, parts of Mount Scopus remained an Israeli enclave in Jordanian-held territory, with the Jordanians blocking access to Hadassah Hospital and the campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on the hilltop.
