Irgun Zvai Leumi Captures Entire Mansheih Quarter of All-Arab Jaffa
Context added by this archive
A Canadian paper naming all three things exactly: which force (Irgun Zvai Leumi), which part of the city (the Mansheih quarter), and whose city it was (all-Arab Jaffa). The Chicago Tribune the next morning had the same event as Jewish forces seizing a mile of Arab Jaffa (CP-1948-030). A named militia becomes an army, and a quarter becomes a distance.
