Jonathan platoon
"Jonathan Platoon" was the only one of its kind in the Israeli War of Independence to be composed entirely of youngsters under the age of 18. The Platoon was established in April 1948 in Jerusalem and was dissolved in August 1948 due to its heavy losses in combat.
==Establishment==
"Jonathan Platoon" was established on April 9, 1948 by Yehoshua Arieli, the Jerusalem commander of the Gadna, (pre-military training corps for youth), and later a history professor and Israel Prize laureate. The Platoon was a significant addition to the Haganah (literally "Defense" – the Jewish military organization preceding the IDF) in Jerusalem, as the city had been under siege due to the Arab blockade since the beginning of 1948, and hence completely isolated from the other Jewish settlements in Palestine. The city thus had to defend itself using local forces alone. Youngsters under the legal age of recruitment were trying to get themselves drafted into fighting units in order to contribute to the military efforts of the Haganah. The Jonathan Platoon was established in an effort to prevent these youngsters from joining fighting units, instead training them, and positioning them at guard posts and bases in the beleaguered city. They were intended as a reserve unit, only to be sent to the front in case of emergency – a scenario which ultimately transpired.
