on the 26th of Tammuz
"Today, Thursday, the 26th of Tammuz, marks the 40th anniversary of a moving ceremony that began in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem and ended on the Mt. of Olives. Some 40 fighters and others who were killed in the battle for Old Jerusalem in 1948 had been buried in a pit there, because of the siege; in 1967, after the city was liberated and unified, they were reburied on the Mt. of Olives."
