Simon says: "Let's Tour!"

Last week Imagine Israel Tours led a fabulous group, all from ourhome town of Zichron Ya'akov.

One of the sites we visited was the Palmach Cave

The cave, the forest & Kibbutz Mishmar HaEmek where the cave is located, served as one of the first and permanent bases of the Palmach

It was used as a place for Palmach units to stay, for conferences, courses, training & commanders' meetings. In particular, the members of the German (1942), Arab (1943), Pilots' (1944-48) & Special Rangers' (1944-48) platoons of the Palmach camped in the cave

In 1942, the place served as a training base, in view of the danger of the occupation of the Land of Israel by the armies of Nazi Germany & Fascist Italy.

Today, the place serves as a centre for passing on the Palmach heritage to groups & IDF soldiers.

The cave was restored by the #meggidoregionalcouncil

& the Society for Preservation of Israel Heritage Sites - SPIHS

Visits are only by prior arrangement, and there is a small charge for entry.
