Hill 16 (Jerusalem)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hill 16 was an important outpost during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, overlooking a narrow part of the road to Jerusalem. Several years ago, the forest on Hill 16 was destroyed by a seasonal wildfire. The Jewish National Fund, along with Nativ, a USY program, collaborated to replant the forest. During the past decade, much of the forest has been replanted.
