Metzudat Koach

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Metzudat Koach Memorial (Hebrew: ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿"¿¿, also Nabi Yusha fortress) commemorates 28 soldiers who died during the conquering of the strategically important fortress. The fortress and observation point is located in the Upper Galilee, close to the tomb of Nabi Yusha. The fortress is not a "Tegart fort" - it is not as large as a Tegart, and it has a round turret. It was commissioned by the British and constructed by Solel Boneh. It was a key observation point in the Naftali heights, overlooking the Hula Valley, and used mostly in an attempt to block the Palestine/Lebanon border. Koach has a double meaning: in gematria it corresponds to 28 (the number of fallen soldiers), and the Hebrew word "¿¿" means "strength". Today, the fortress serves as an Israel Border Police base.
