This newspaper was intended for Palestinian Units of the British Army in Italy. Besides the general war news, of special interest is the item on the first page entitled “Aliyah,” describing how 30 Hungarian Jews arrived in Istanbul on their way to Eretz Israel. The newspaper also kept the soldier abreast of internal developments within the Zionist movement in Eretz Israel
