Tel Giborim Tel a-Rish
Operation "Hametz" - siege of Jaffa and its conquest
Operation "Chametz" - siege of Jaffa and its conquest
The purpose of Operation Chametz was to besiege the city of Jaffa and subdue it. Forces from brigades participated in the operation: "Alexandroni", "Givati" and "Kiriti".
Givati was tasked with occupying Tel a-Rish (Tel Hanotot) at the entrances to Jaffa, which was part of the fortifications set up by the Jaffa Arabs to protect it, thus cutting off the Jaffa-Ramla road, and removing the threat of Holon’s neighborhoods. A few days before the operation, the first shipment of 20 mm anti-aircraft guns arrived in Israel, and it was decided to test their effectiveness against ground targets to assist the Givati soldiers in the battle to occupy the hill.
On the night of April 28, 1948 - 19 Nissan, the order was given to occupy the mound. A delay in the departure of the breaking company led to the postponement of the start time of the operation (the ’S’ time’). The news of the postponement of the operation did not reach the gunners and they opened fire according to plan. This firing resulted in the cancellation of the surprise advantage. The assailants were hit by the fire of the Arab forces, and yet the company managed to occupy the mound in a short battle and with almost no fighting. Upon hearing of the conquest of the mound, semi-regular Arab units left Jaffa, capturing battle positions that controlled the mound. The Arab counterattacks caused many casualties among the company’s exposed soldiers. An independent counterattack by one of the commanders managed to delay the Arabs from occupying the mound for a while, and allowed our forces to evacuate most of the casualties.
Due to the heavy fire, the cover men and the rest of the battalion and its headquarters were forced to retreat.
Operation Hametz achieved most of its goals and the city of Jaffa was besieged, and the roads leading to it were cut off. On Thursday, May 13, 1948, the Arabs of Jaffa signed a surrender agreement.
On the ruins of the village, the "Tel Giborim" neighborhood was established, a testament to the difficult battle and to commemorate the warriors.
Performed in the jubilee year of the State of Israel
