Yedioth Hayom newspaper - May 18, 1948 - The battles of the War of Independence in Jerusalem
'Yedioth Hayom' newspaper - Jerusalem, Ben Yehuda Street. May 18, 1948 - four days after the declaration of independence - reports of the battles of independence in the Jewish Quarter sector of Jerusalem. The headline of the newspaper in Hebrew, the body of the newspaper in German.
The newspaper reports on the Arab Legion's takeover of the Jewish Quarter, and many Arab citizens advancing toward the Jewish Quarter to assist their brothers in its occupation, and that in recent days dozens of mortar shells have been fired in the Quarter area. The newspaper also reports on battles in the Tel Aviv area, and on new uniforms sewn in honor of the Jerusalem police, which is divided into four districts, and that Arab citizens who want to return to their homes in the Jerusalem area can do so with special approval from the Hebrew army authorities. The newspaper also writes that the declaration of a Jewish state has caused countries that opposed it to vote in the UN to recognize it now, and this is to the detriment of the Arabs who are trying to change the established reality. Extremely rare.
