HISTORICAL MAPS
MAP 15 Jerusalem Before the Six-Day War
June 4, 1967
At the end of the War of Independence, Jerusalem was divided between Israel and Jordan. Armistice lines were determined in November 1948. The area around Armon Hanatziv was used as UN territory, and Mount Scopus became an Israeli enclave containing the Hebrew University, Hadassah Hospital and, officially, the village of Issawiyya. This map was adopted in April 1949 in an armistice agreement signed in Rhodes. The westernmost point between the two parts of the divided city was at the edge of the Musrara neighborhood, near the Mandelbaum Gate.
