On the sign:
סמל הפלמ"J
אור ליום ג’ ט’ באייר תשח, 18 במאי 1948 כבשו אנשי פלמ"ח "הראל" את הר-ציון.

למחרת טרם עלות השחר, פרצו את שער ציון עשרים ושנים לוחמים חשים לעזרת מגיניו האמיצים של הרובע היהודי הנצור בעיר העתיקה

במו גופם, בלא שריון ותותח, חרפו נפשם על חומות ירושלים

העובר בשער הזה יזכרם!

כנס פלמ"ח "הראל"
כ"ב בחשון תשכ"ט

Translation of the text on the sign:
The Palmach symbol
At dawn on Tuesday, May 18, 1948, the "Harel" Palmach occupied Mount Zion.

The next day before dawn, twenty-two warriors broke through the Zion Gate to help the brave defenders of the besieged Jewish quarter in the Old City.

With their own bodies, without armor or cannon, they sacrificed their souls on the walls of Jerusalem

Those who pass through this gate will remember them!
