[Gush Etzion, Israel]: [H2H][HIS][CSL]: The Etzion Bloc was a collection of four villages southwest of Jerusalem. After the Arab invasion, once the British pulled out of Palestine in April 1948, the Trans-Jordan Arab Legion was holding positions throughout eastern Palestine, including Bersheeba, Bethlehem and Hebron. The primary supply route to Bersheeba and Hebron skirted the Etzion Bloc and was a site of continuous ambushes. With Amman expecting a large arms convoy along the route, the Sixth Regiment of the Trans-Jordanian Arab Legion was tasked with assaulting and capturing the Bloc. At dawn on May 12th, two Arab Legion companies, supported by armoured cars, an ALA company and hundreds of irregulars began the assault on Kfar Etzion. [ALL: NOVV][NONE][1.00]

Israeli are tough to crack when dug in, the Arabs took heavy losses being in the open, the Arab mortar was kinda weak, not powerful enough to bust open the bunkers, only real power they had was those HMGs and the ACs.
