Description: An armored car, captured from the ALA (Arab Liberation Army- Kaukji's army) in 1948. The car still carries the ALA emblem, a dagger stabbing a Star of David. It was captured after the ALA defeat in the Galilee and his flight from Palestine campaign. The updated Graphic lab view is that the photo is probably not doctored, based on this good quality image. Previously, based on a suggested by Graphics Lab editors that the dagger and star emblem in this photo may have been a doctored image. This image is a better quality version of the previous one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Qawuqjis_armored_vehicle.jpg. The same car, but without the camouflage painting, is seen here: http://ww2photo.se/tanks/can/armerc/otter1.htm. http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/search?query=otter+car&submit=&items_per_page=10 More about this Otter Light Reconnaissance Car.
