The glare from fires set by mortar and artillery shells and the flares set up by opposing fighters in the fierce battle between Arabs and Jews light up the sky above the David's Tower section of the Old City Wall of Jerusalem, held by the Arabs, July 14, 1948. It was one of the heaviest exchanges of fire in the long struggle for the Holy City. (AP Photo/Jim Pringle) Ref #: PA.7450612 Date: 14/07/1948
