File talk:1948-Jordanian artillery shelling Jerusalem.jpg

The caption may be mistaken. Jordanian 25 pounders were stationed in Sheikh Jarah and the horizon doesn’t match. If the spire on the right is David’s Tower/Jaffa Gate then the fire is coming from north-west of the Old City. The arc of trajectory & the bright light to the left suggest it is flares being fired.

Also the trajectories suggest mortars rather than artillery. Padres Hana (talk) 22:00, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
