The Jordan Valley battle took place on March 11, 1969, led to the deaths of three IDF junior officers, as well as the killing of seven terrorists and the capture of another. It took place during the 1967-70 War of Attrition, which cost the lives of 500 soldiers fighting Jordanian terrorist cells that infiltrated into Israel across the Jordan River during that period.
The battle began after an infiltration was discovered, and the soldiers pursued the terrorists towards the west. Near the villageof Majdal Bani Fadil, around present-day Maaleh Efraim and Gitit, the force ascended a hilltop to search several caves. A Bedouin woman was sitting outside one cave nursing her baby, and when asked if there was anyone inside, she answered in the negative. The soldiers turned to leave, and suddenly a burst of fire and grenades engulfed the Israeli force, killing three soldiers: Chanan Samson, Yossi Kaplan, and Boaz Sasson. The other soldiers returned fire and liquidated the terrorist cell.
