Some authentic photos that I found in family archives, dating to the British Mandate era.

After the First World War, the Ottoman Empire, which ruled the Middle East for centuries, has collapsed. Britain and France received a mandate from the Leauge of Nations to govern the region temporarily. Britain's mandate in Palestine eventually lasted 3 decades. It was a time of great development and modernization in the Holy Land, but also the period in which the Israeli-Arab conflict emerged.
