About the dates and the attacks. The sources I've found says that the fort was assaulted three times in the spring of 1948, Operation Ben Nun in May 15, Operation Ben Nun B in May 30 and Operation Yoram the night between June 8-9. I'm a little dubious to the statement that it was the 7th and Alexandroni brigade too. BL 23:31, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I've put an article on the french version, under the name of "Bataille de Latroun" with David "Mickey" Marcus, this Brooklyn born jewish boy, honored in both the US and Israel. He's been part of the MACHAL volunteers, fighting for the existence of newborn State of Israel.

The date given for the establishment of the Monastery was previously given in this article as 1861, but according to my recollection of a conversation with Abbot Paul Saouma it was established around 1890, which is the date usually seen elsewhere on the internet.
It was stated that Trappists are not supposed to drink alcohol. Whereas this was true centuries ago, a reform has long since permitted them the consumption of alcohol and, indeed, some of the finest Belgian beers are produced in Trappist monasteries.
There had been no reference to the small village of al-Latrun, whose former presence should not be omitted, and which perhaps deserves further description in an article that purports to present the history of Latrun.
It could be possible to include a description of the No Man's Land between Israel and Jordan (1949 - 1967).
The site Palestine Remembered was previously described here as "Palestinian advocacy site, offering disputed claims regarding the battle at Latrun". I think a more neutral description was called for, that allows the readers to judge for themselves. Besides, the site doesn't really have much to say about the battle at Latrun.
This article doesn't follow any logical order and leaves out vital information. Depite its length, it's only a stub. Scott Adler 23:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I agreee with the last post: there were three attacks on Latrun. Further I disagree with the conclusion in the article where ir says that the results of the battle were "mixt", because the Arab Legion was contained and allowed the opening of a second roda to Jerusalem: the objective of the attacks was to open the road to Jerusalem (not achieved). Further, it is preposterous to write that the attacks on Latrun "contained" the Arab Legion : was not the goal and of course ded not "contained" or restrained the A. Legion. Further, the second road to Jerusalem was open more or less covertly and was not bombed during the pre-armistice by tyhe A. Legion because the British officer in charge considered impossible to open such road (due to the nature of the terrain), so give instructions for not to shell the area where one could see dust from the roadworks. Apologies for my terrible English.
Peace
This article is now shaping up quite nicely. I'd suggest going for a reclassification at least B class I have not done that myself before have no idea how to request assessment i am just a humble blue pencil guy.

Hello, I just want to strees that the Bible is not a historically reliable source, as it's a 'melange' or 'mixture' of historical deeds and myths, very often with no real chronological seriousness and proven facts.

While it is incorrect to talk of "Israelis" prior to the establishment of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948 it is misleading to talk of "Jews" in describing the actions of the Israeli authorities after that date. That's why I corrected those terms. Jieriomka ( talk) 23:42, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Latrun was never annexed to Israel. If this idea was based on this article in Haaretz [1], then you should note that the article talks about de facto annexation, due to the fact that the Separation Fence is built beyond Latrun. But there is no law or order saying that the territory is Israeli. There is a small territory around Latrun, which was a no-man's land until 1967.
Also, the template: former Arab village is irrelevant here. Latrun has never been an Arab village, and the monastery there still exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.66.135.139 ( talk) 20:55, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
We could use an article on the Trappist monastery (hint, hint). Zero talk 15:34, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Hertz1888, why did you revert? Secondly, it is not a minor edit. Why do you keep the POV view that Jordan occupied the area but Israel did not (when in fact it does it to today)? -- IRISZOOM ( talk) 01:45, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
