About Ammunition Hill: JNF has erected a Wall of Honor and museum at Ammunition Hill, the site of the 1967 battle that made possible the capture of the Old City and the reunification of Jerusalem under Jewish rule for the first time in 2,000 years. There is no better place to honor Jewish heroism than Ammunition Hill, and funds raised will go to expand and preserve this historic site situated near the Old City.
