FASCINATING FACTS IN JEWISH HISTORY Gush Etzion is a block of settlements that straddles the Hebron - Jerusalem road and guards the south approach to Jerusalem. In November 1947, after the UN vote to parti-tion Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, Gush Etzion came under attack. The locals heroically held off the Arab attackers. They were reinforced by Haganah and Palmah combatants. Arab attack forces numbered as many as a thousand people at times, and the situation deteriorated. The armed convoys of food, petrol, and equipment headed for the Etzion Bloc drew fire and suffered casualties. By January 1948, supply convoys could no longer get through to Gush Etzion. On January 15, 1948, 35 Haganah members, under the cover of darkness, made their way on foot from Har Tuv (near Beit Shemesh) to resupply Gush Etzion. As they were proceeding, they came upon an Arab shepherd boy and apprehended him. A debate ensued as to what to do with the boy. If he was released, he would alert the Arabs and they would be killed. To kill the boy in cold blood was unacceptable to the 35. They made him promise to keep their secret and released him. At dawn, the 35 were attacked by a large group of armed locals. The battle lasted all the next day. The sol-diers fought to the last bullet, until the last of the group was killed at about 4:30 p.m. The Arab attackers mutilated the bodies of “the 35.” The murdered convoy became known as the “Lamed Hey”, Lamed being the Hebrew letter for 30 and Hey the letter for 5. The residents of the four Gush Etzion settlements concentrated in Kfar Etzion and for nearly five more months they prevented Arab forces from advancing on Jerusalem. On May 12, 1948, two days before the proclamation of the State of Israel, thousands of Arabs and Arab Legionnaires attacked the Etzion Bloc. The fighting went on for three long days, and 30 defenders were killed. On Friday, the day that the state was pro-claimed, the defenders could no longer hold out. They surrendered. Their Arab captors murdered 127 men and women and took others in captivity to Transjordan. The bodies of the dead lay in the fields for a year-and-a-half, until Transjordan allowed Israel to retrieve the corpses and bury them at Mount Herzl. The four kibbutzim were totally destroyed. Two hundred and forty settlers, Haganah and Palmah fighters were killed at the Etzion Bloc during five-and-a-half months of war. A British soldier took pictures of the mutilated bodies of the “Lamed Hey convoy” and left his roll of film to be developed in Jerusalem and never came back for it. Several decades later the negatives were discovered, but it was decided not to publish the atrocities. Today Gush Etzion is a thriving Jewish center. The site of the massacre of the Lamed Hey is memorialized. Their Yahrtzeit is this week on 4 Shevat.
