Zion Gate, Old City, Jersualem. If you're wondering what all those pock marks are in the stone walls, those are bullet marks left from the 1948 and 1967 conflicts, which ultimately left Israel in control of all of Jerusalem. Those bullet holes are a testament to the tenacity of Israelis to gain access to the Old City, and the lives lost to unite Jerusalem under Israel's control.
Taken July 1993.
