JERUSALEM, Israel – In less than a month, Israelis will celebrate the 54th anniversary of one of the biggest military victories of all time – the Six-Day War. As a tribute to what many see as God s victory, CBN Documentaries produced In Our Hands: the Battle for Jerusalem.
The docudrama tells the story of Israel s victory in the city during the 1967 Six-Day War through the eyes of the paratroopers.
CBN s Scott Ross interviewed the film s writer and director, Erin Zimmerman, at Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem. Ammunition Hill is the site of what is still today the bloodiest battle in Arab-Israeli history, Zimmerman said.
