Divided Jerusalem ירושלים המחולקת

From 1948 to 1967 Jerusalem was split between Israel and Jordan. The line was drawn in November 1948 by Moshe Dayan and the Jordanian commander Abdullah el-Tell and confirmed in the 1949 armistice. Strips of no man's land ran through the city, the Mandelbaum Gate was the only crossing, and Mount Scopus with the Hebrew University campus became a cut-off Israeli enclave. Jordan held East Jerusalem and the Old City. Jews were barred from the Western Wall, and synagogues of the Jewish Quarter, among them the Hurva Synagogue, were destroyed.
