Platoon of the Wall

The Platoon of the Wall (Plugat Hakotel) was a Betar force in Mandatory Palestine that defended the rights of Jews at the Western Wall in the years 1937- 1938, and guarded the Old City using concealed stores of arms and clubs and accompanied Jewish worshippers to and from the Western Wall.^[1]

On the evening of October 29, 1937, as a result of Arabs shooting at such a group, one Jew was killed and three wounded.^[2]
