Israel Won the Battle…Then Buried the Enemy With Honor
Unpacked
During the 1967 Battle of Ammunition Hill, a pivotal conflict of the Six-Day War, Israeli paratroopers displayed an extraordinary gesture of respect toward their adversaries. After successfully overtaking the hill, they took time to honor the fallen Jordanian soldiers by burying them with dignity. The Israelis placed a sign at the site, acknowledging the bravery of "17 brave Jordanian soldiers" who lost their lives in the battle. This act exemplified a profound level of humanity and respect amidst the horrors of war.
