13 mayo 1948 año - Operation Shfifon

Descripción:

On May 13, 1948, a day before the state of Israel was proclaimed, the Haganah launched Operation Shfifon with the aim of capturing the British outposts in the Old City of Jerusalem and preventing the Arab forces from taking control of them first. Such an eventuality had long been anticipated, and plans prepared called Operation Shfifon ('horned viper'; some translate it as 'Serpent') and quickly followed by Operation Kilshon.
