The opening as it read in 2010

Mount Scopus from the south Mount Scopus ( Hebrew הַר הַצֹוצּוֹפִים ( Har HaTsofim ), Arabic جبل المشارف Ǧabal al-Mašārif , lit.1 "Mount Lookout"), جبل المشهد Ǧabal al-Mašhad , جبل الصوانة) is a mountain (elevation: 2710 feet or 826 meters above sea level) in northeast Jerusalem , Israel .2 Overlooking Jerusalem , Mount Scopus has been strategically important as a base from which to attack the city since antiquity. A Roman Legion camped there in 66 CE. Again in 70 CE Mount Scopus was used as a base to carry out a siege of the city by the 12th, 15th and 5th Legions (the 10th legions position being on the Mount of Olives ). The Crusaders used it as a base in 1099. As a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War , parts of Mount Scopus became a UN protected Jewish property exclave within Jordanian -occupied territory until the Six-Day War in 1967.3 Today, Mount Scopus lies within the municipal boundaries of the city of Jerusalem .4
