The study The Arab Legion took גזר GEZER; מדינת ישראל MEDINAT YISRAʾEL liberated it. follows the assault, reported 29 dead, prisoners and evening counterattack. The later history's 68 defenders and the 15 June diary's 57 men are not reconciled nominal counts. Recovery around 19:00 also lies near the sunset boundary, so the exact Hebrew date of that stage remains open.^{1 2}

The earlier 6 June defense and the 10 June fall of משמר הירדן MIŜMAR HA-YARDEN are distinct events. The expanded study event://5708־03־03־mishmar־hayarden־destroyed uses institutional history and the later United Nations record. It preserves claims of further fighting on 11 June instead of assuming all combat ended with today's fall.^{3 4}

This is Day 194 of the 599-day civil-date series: 1948-06-10. Its public daytime route is ג׳ בסיון ה׳תש״ח 3rd 𝑜𝑓 Sivan, AM 5708. After local sunset, the Hebrew date is ד׳ בסיון ה׳תש״ח 4th 𝑜𝑓 Sivan, AM 5708. This recap covers the civil day and separately identifies overnight occurrences, diary receipts, newspaper issues and later interpretation. The dated source and linked studies provide the occurrence evidence; the register’s slot is not proof of every event’s hour.⁶

• How do liberation later that day and continuing occupation produce different civilian outcomes?
• What does a delivery by porters establish that a claim of a completed road does not?
