One of the fiercest battles in Jerusalem during the 1967 Six Day War was fought here by Israeli paratroopers to take the well-fortified Jordanian position that blocked the way to the Mount Scopus campus of the Hebrew University. Visitors can walk along the trenches to imagine the fighting, and can pay their respects to the fallen at the memorial for Battalian 66. The museum offers models and an audio-visual display describing the battle. In the surrounding park, one sometimes encounters Israeli and Jordanian families partaking of a memorial meal in honor of relatives who fell here. There is a small entrance fee.

What a Place!
This is the site of the battle that reunited Jerusalem as a Jewish city for the first time since the year 6. Wow! The historic significance is...
Ammunition Hill
Extremely moving video presentation of th heros of the 1967 war. I was drained after seeing the movie and walking the trenches. Very emotional.
