Two weeks after the 72nd anniversary of the fall of the Lamed Heh convoy, the monument was vandalized for the sixth time.
The "Convoy of 35" was a convoy of Haganah fighters sent during the 1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on a mission to reach by foot and resupply the blockaded kibbutzim of Gush Etzion in January 1948, after earlier motorized convoys had been attacked.
