The 60th anniversary of the Battle of Samu, fought on November 13, 1966, south of Hebron, is being marked. The battle lasted less than five hours, as units of the Jordanian Arab Army repelled an Israeli attack backed by tanks, paratroopers, and aircraft, forcing the attackers to retreat after clashes on land and in the air. Jordanian pilots shot down three Israeli aircraft. Fifteen Jordanian servicemen were martyred and 22 wounded, while the commander of the Israeli paratroop brigade was killed. Historians have described the battle as a test of readiness and fighting spirit, and as a milestone that paved the way for the 1968 Battle of Karameh. The UN Security Council condemned the attack in Resolution 228.
