Its towers and ramparts offer splendid views of that part of Jerusalem where Old and New meet, and East meets West. HarHatzorfim The Hebrew word "hatsofim" and the Greek "scopus" both describe the fact that this mountain "looks over" Jerusalem from its heights. It was here that the Roman legions of Titus camped before capturing Jerusalem, as did the Crusaders in 1099 and the British forces in 1917. The Arab Legion captured this mountain in the War of Liberation but did not succeed in using it as a springboard for conquering Jerusalem.
