*No Israel-bashing, hating etc, on this thread (also, this is in a discussion forum)*
Today is Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day) in Israel, a day celebrating the liberation of Jerusalem and other areas in the Land of Israel during the Six Day War, 57 years ago to the day (per the Hebrew calendar). This thread is in celebration of those momentous events.
Two of my favorite clips to watch on this day:
The first is a compilation of some of the most famous clips from the last of the battles in Jerusalem and their aftermath (English subtitles):
The second is that of a military ceremony held by the IDF on the Temple Mount after liberating it (no sound):
And some of the Hebrew songs often sung on this day:
Am Yisrael Chai
