 The men of the Harel brigade made leave on foot from Bab al @-@ Oued but took a wrong way and mistakenly attacked Hill 315 . Located by the Jordanian sentries , they launch the attack of the hill . The Legionnaires were outnumbered but counterattacked with violence , going as far as requiring an artillery bombing on their own position . The Israelis suffered some heavy losses . When the Yiftach arrived at the bottom of Hill 346 , they are targeted by firearms , grenades and artillery . Thinking that Harel men were there , they called by radio to the headquarters to ceasefire , and laid down arms . They refused , not believing that account of the events and Harel soldiers stayed in place .
