What Happened?

12 March 1947: A military escort jeep assigned to cover the lorry of ‘Hadashot Haerev’ (an evening newspaper) was struck by explosives on the main highway off Sarona, suffering extensive damage. The driver and one escort were injured, the latter of whom had to be transferred to a military hospital.

This attack coincided with the deadly attack on the British Army’s Pay Corps at the Syrian Orphanage in Al-Quds (Jerusalem).
