Halftrack-mounted infantry were also present.
Jerusalem Brigade was in positions south of the Old City of Jerusalem.
Paratroopers Brigade.
Three batalions of infantry with support weapons.
Ammunition was a problem for the Brigade, due to supply being arranged for a drop in the Sinai. Ammunition was also a problem at Ammunition Hill due to the need for grenades, and automatic firing in the trenches. Ammunition expenditure was greater than what was given to the individual man, and ammunition was taken from the dead and wounded, and from the mens' packs. The ammunition from the packs had to be placed inside magazines to fire.
The Brigade was equiped with MAG's, rifles, and Uzi submachineguns. Phosphorus, smoke, concussion, and fragmentation grenades were also carried. Explosives were carried in the packs, which were dropped due to the tight quarters in the trenches. Bazzokas were also used. Bangalore torpedoes were used at the breakthrough areas by the sappers. The infantry were also equiped with support weapons. Two tanks showed up during the fighting, after beeing fetched by a paratrooper officer.
