Original sentence: During Israel's War Of Independence, the road from the coastal plain to Jerusalem was blockaded after the British withdrew and handed the fort of Latrun over to Jordan's Arab Legion.In contrast to the Jewish residents who legally owned land in or near Jerusalem that were being starved-out of Jerusalem by the Arab soldiers holding Canada Park's hilltop, and these Jews were never compensated, Israel compensated all Arab villagers in the salient of Latrun for the value of their land after expelling, on the orders of Israeli general Yitzhak Rabin, all 10,000 inhabitants during the Six Day War.Some of the antiquities/ruins at the Park and nearby tourist attractions are detailed in the "Further information" links at the top of this section, as well as more details about the region's history.The Arab Legionnaires used the fort to shell Israeli vehicles traveling on the road below, effectively imposing a military siege on Jerusalem and the Jewish residents there, which resulted in Jordan annexing Jerusalem for the following 19 years, whereas the United Nations plan in Resolution 181 was to keep Jerusalem as an international zone with neither Jordan, Israel, nor the Palestinian Arab Higher Committee having sovereignty over it.The site is identified by archaeologists as being built atop biblical Aijalon, which has been held by armies due to its strategic high ground in both ancient and modern times.UN Resolution 181
Edited sentence: All Arab villages in the Latrun salient were razed during the Six Day War on the orders of Israeli general Yitzhak Rabin and over 10,000 inhabitants were expelled.The inhabitants were offered compensation but not allowed to return
