Date: June 6th, 1967.*
Location: Jenin, Jordan.*
*
At the start of the 1967 war, the Jordanian army was deployed into a thin front line all along the border with Israel. Front line battalions were regularly covering frontages of up to 10km so the Jordanian army had to rely heavily on its few reserve brigades to move up and reinforce any threatened zones. However, Israeli air force interdicted these reserves. The Jordanian units stretched along the border, such as the gallant but doomed 25th Brigade and 12th Independent Tank Battalion defending Jenin, were simply overwhelmed by the units of the Israeli Peled Division.*
