Postmark and Postal Handling: Military Franking: The triangular Tzahal cachet from military unit 1044 was applied on the reverse to authorize postage-free transit. Civilian Processing Postmark: The letter was transferred to the civilian postal system. A postmark from Rosh Pinna, Israel, dated January 13, 1971 (Wednesday), was applied on the front. Historical Context for January 13, 1971: This date falls within the ceasefire period that followed the War of Attrition (which ended in August 1970). While major combat had ceased, the Tzahal remained on high alert. Rosh Pinna is a town in the Upper Galilee of northern Israel, a region of strategic importance. "Ha'aretz" (הארץ, "The Land") is one of Israel's longest-running and most influential newspapers. "Musaf Ha'aretz" is its well-known weekend magazine.
