The tunnel wall is seen in the photo: During the Second World War, the British dug a tunnel and built a bridge at Rosh Hanikra in order to establish a continuous rail route from Europe to the Middle East. In the summer of 1944, Jewish refugees from the concentration camps were brought to Israel by trains that passed through the tunnel here. They were exchanged for German citizens who were living in Israel, whose sons served in the Nazi army. During the Israeli War of Independence in March, 1948, the Haganah blew up the bridge at Rosh Hanikra in order to prevent Arab forces from using the railway route to bring volunteers and arms from Lebanon to aid their forces in Haifa. In addition to seeing the tunnel (in the photo), we saw the remnants of the railway track.

Rosh Hanikra - beautiful underground grottoes carved out by the sea and coastal views with chalk cliffs overlooking the sea.
