The Londoners had previously tested the strength of Adaseh, and had found it an extremely troublesome hill. They went for it again the 179th Brigade this time and after a several hours' struggle took it at dusk.
Meanwhile the 181st Brigade had taken the lofty villages of Bir Nebala and El Jib, and after Adaseh became ours the Division went ahead in the dark and got to the line across the Nablus road from Er Ram to Rafat, capturing some prisoners. The 74th Division also made splendid progress.
Adaseh, a hill between Tel el Ful and Tawil, in the early hours of December 23, and the 181st Brigade was to seize a height about half a mile north of Beit Hannina. The latter attack succeeded, but despite the most gallant and repeated efforts the 180th Brigade was unable to gain the summit of Adaseh, though they got well up the hill.
The 60th Division thereupon did not further prosecute their attack on Adaseh.
