THE RAMPARTS WALK

1967 CE

מלחמת ששת הימים
עם פרוץ מלחמת ששת הימים הצטרפה ממלכת ירדן ללחימה נגד ישראל, והפגיזה את ירושלים המערבית. מול צבא ירדן ניצבו שלוש חטיבות צה"ל: "החטיבה הירושלמית", חטיבת השריון "הראל", ו"חטיבת הצנחנים" במילואים. בתום יום וחצי של לחימה קשה הונף דגל ישראל מעל העיר העתיקה. הר הבית והכותל המערבי שבו לידי העם היהודי. כיום מגנים על העיר כוחות משמר הגבול והמשטרה, שומרים על אתריה הקדושים ומבטיחים חופש דת ופולחן למאמינים.

حرب الأيام الستة
مع اندلاع حرب الأيام الستة، انضمت المملكة الأردنية إلى الحرب ضد إسرائيل، وقصفت القدس الغربية. واجه الجيش الأردني ثلاثة ألوية من جيش الدفاع الإسرائيلي. وفي نهاية يوم ونصف من القتال العنيف، رفع العلم الإسرائيلي على أسوار البلدة القديمة، حيث يوجد في المدينة حرس حدود وشرطة، يحرسون الأماكن المقدسة ويضمنون حرية الدين والعبادة للمؤمنين.

The Six Day War
When the Six Day War broke out, the Kingdom of Jordan joined the fighting and bombed western Jerusalem. Three IDF brigades faced the Jordanian army: the 16th Jerusalem Infantry Brigade, the 10th Harel Tank Brigade, and the reserve 55th Paratrooper Brigade. Following one and a half days of intense fighting, an Israeli flag was raised over the Old City. Today, Israeli border police forces and police protect the city and its sacred sites and guarantee freedom of religion and worship.
