Museum and memorial on the Arsenal Hill

The museum and memorial on the Arsenal Hill were created in memory of the 182 Jewish soldiers who died during the defense of Jerusalem in the Six-Day War. The battle for the Arsenal Hill took place in June 1967 in a military clash between Israel and Jordan.

In 1975, on the site of the surrendered fortified position of the Jordanian army, a memorial was erected, which is visited by more than two hundred thousand visitors a year. There is a permanent exhibition "Givat Ha-Tahmoshet", which tells about the Six-Day War, during a tour in which you can walk through military bunkers and tunnels. Also in the evening there is a light-sound performance “Battle for Jerusalem”.
