I've done a bit of reading on the conficts of '67 and '73.

I think the two Jordanian armored brigades were the 40th and 60th, both equiped with US tanks. |

Ammunition Hill was the most fortified Jordanian position that the Israelis faced in 1967. The Israelis needed to take these positions in order to break through the Jordanian front line and reinforce Mount Scopus, and to help in encircling the Old City of Jerusalem.
