Map of the battles
May 1948
[Third sign]
An armored member of the Legion who was wounded on May 20, 1948, with an anti-tank rifle operated by the fighter Avraham Levy, as well as a Molotov cocktail thrown at him from Notre Dame by GDNA Mordechai Rotenberg. Levy remained wounded on the road for many hours until he was rescued. The armored vehicle stopped the entire armored column from infiltrating Jaffa Street.
The armored car remained a symbol on the front of Notre Dame until the Six Day War.
Later, on May 24, 1946, Reuven Weinstein and Dr. Emanuel Koenig of the Moriah Battalion threw grenades at an approaching armored column and prevented him from entering West Jerusalem. This operation resulted in their injury and death the next day.

The Davidka was a homemade mortar used by the Haganah in the battles of 1958. A barrage of three shells fired from it into the courtyard of Notre Dame by the fighter Ezra Siton on May 24, 1948 led to the withdrawal of the Legion and the control of the Haganah.
