القدس الشريف: باب الخليل

Bab Al-Khalil (Jaffa Gate): was a major entrance to the old city in the last hundred years, and has a lot of history. Wilheim II of Germany, entered thru the breach in the wall at Bab Al-Khalil on horses and caravans when he visited Jerusalem in 1898. General Allenby entered on foot thru this Gate on Dec 9, 1917. My late dad a very well known merchant in the old city entered and exited thru this door almost daily during the life span of his life, and no body mentioned his name. what a pitty.!!
