Description: Title: "The Army of Liberation Does Wonders" (جيش الإنقاذ العجائب). This was published in Cairo, Egypt's al-Mussawar newspaper on April 3, 1948. Caption to bottom left photo: «شعار مدرعات جيش الإنقاذ .. النجمة الصهيونية يطعنها خنجر عربي .. كما ترى في هذه الصورة». "The emblem of the armored vehicles of Liberation Army .. the Zionist star is stabbed with an Arabic dagger .. as seen in this picture" NOTE: The Arabic word إنقاذ in isolation is usually not translated into English as "liberation"; however, the entire phrase جيش الإنقاذ العرب was historically conventionally translated as Arab Liberation Army. Note: It has been suggested by Graphics Lab editors that the dagger and star emblem in the lower left photo may have been added at some point after the photo was taken. It might be a doctored image.
