Burma Road (Israel)

Burma Road
Map of the Latrun area around 11 June 1948. Main Israeli controlled area to the west, the West Jerusalem pocket in the east. The Burma Road was established south of the pre-war road between the coastal and Jerusalem areas, thus bypassing the Jordanian controlled area around Latrun.
