In October 1944, under the leadership of Brigadier Ernest F. Benjamin, the brigade group was shipped to Italy and joined British Eighth Army in November which was engaged in the Italian Campaign under 15th Army Group.

The brigade group took part in the Spring Offensive of 1945.
It took positions on the front line for the first time on March 3, 1945, and entered in combat for the first time on March 19–20, 1945 at Alfonsine.
The brigade then moved to the Senio River sector, where on March 27 it fought against elements of the German 4th Parachute Division commanded by Generalleutnant Heinrich Trettner.
On April 9–10, the brigade returned in combat during the "Three Rivers Battle", crossing the Senio river and establishing a bridgehead, widening it the following day.
The brigade was then removed from the frontline for rest and refit before the liberation of Bologna (April 21, 1945).
The Jewish Brigade suffered heavy combat losses considering its short operational period in Italy (48 days of the frontline - March 3 to April 20, 1945- and 5 days of actual combat - March 19, 20 and 27, April 9 and 10, 1945) with 30 killed and 70 wounded.
Its dead are buried in the Commonwealth's Ravenna War Cemetery at Piangipane.

In addition, they were represented among the liberating Allied units at a papal audience.
The Jewish Brigade was then stationed in Tarvisio, near the border triangle of Italy, Yugoslavia, and Austria.
They searched for Holocaust survivors, provided survivors with aid, and assisted in their immigration to Palestine.
They played a key role in the Berihah's efforts to help Jews escape Europe for British Mandatory Palestine, a role many of its members were to continue after the Brigade disbanded.
Among its projects was the education and care of the Selvino children.
In July 1945, the Brigade moved to Belgium and the Netherlands.

Overall, in the course of World War II, the Jewish Brigade's casualties were 83 killed in action or died of wounds and 200 wounded.
