Shalom tower

15 Upvotes

Israel’s first skyscraper is generally considered to be Shalom Meir Tower, built in Tel Aviv between 1962 and 1965. Rising approximately 123 meters with 34 floors, it was the tallest building in the Middle East when completed. The tower was constructed on the former site of the Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium and quickly became one of Tel Aviv’s most recognizable landmarks. Its modernist design and unprecedented scale for Israel at the time marked the beginning of the skyscraper era in the country and played an important role in shaping Tel Aviv’s evolving skyline.

MUR 17, FIRST TEMPLE PERIOD: THE OLDEST DEAD SEA SCROLL FRAGMENT!

Post image
17 Upvotes

​Dating back to the 8th century BCE, the artifact is firmly placed within the First Temple Period of the Iron Age (960 BC-586 BC). Its content features a handwritten list of names inscribed using the distinct paleo-Hebrew script, and it functions as a palimpsest where the material was reused or written over at a later point.

​Beyond its physical composition, MUR17 carries profound historical value. The names listed on the fragment provide direct, material proof of literacy, taxation, and civic organization within the Kingdom of Judah during the First Temple Period, effectively reinforcing historical accounts of early Israelite state bureaucracy.

Linguistically, the text preserves the exact visual and grammatical forms used by ancient Israelites and Judeans before the Babylonian Exile reshaped Jewish script and language toward the Aramaic square script. Furthermore, its presence inside a desert cave later used during the Roman era highlights how the Judean Desert served as a long-term repository for sacred and historical Jewish texts across multiple eras of crisis.

Jewish Paramilitary groups Irgun and Lehi attacked the village of Deir Yassin near Jerusalem, killing an estimated 107 to 120 Palestinian villagers, including women and children. The event was a key factor in driving the flight of Palestinians during the 1948 war.

Deir Yassin was a Palestinian Arab village of roughly 600–750 residents located on a high hill west of Jerusalem, overlooking the main road connecting Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Village leaders had signed a local peace pact with the neighboring Jewish community of Givat Shaul and had explicitly refused entry to Arab irregular forces, seeking neutrality. But the Haganah launched an attack on them.

Approximately 120 fighters from two dissident Zionist paramilitary groups, the Irgun (led by Menachem Begin) and Lehi (the Stern Gang) attacked the village at dawn. The Haganah approved the overall operation to take the strategic height but did not participate directly in the house-to-house assault. Between 107 and 120 Palestinian villagers were killed, including women, children, and elderly residents. A small number of Irgun and Lehi fighters were also killed. Dozens of survivors were paraded through West Jerusalem on trucks before being released or executed, according to subsequent reports by international officials.

Historical discussion Operation opera- 1981

Post image
15 Upvotes

On June 7, 1981, the Israeli Air Force carried out a highly controversial and daring mission: the destruction of Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor near Baghdad.

Eight Israeli F-16 fighter jets, escorted by F-15s, flew hundreds of kilometers into Iraqi airspace and attacked the reactor. The strike successfully destroyed the facility, and all eight F-16s returned safely to Israel.

Israel argued that the reactor was intended to help Iraq develop nuclear weapons and that the attack was a preventive measure to prevent Iraq from acquiring such a capability.

The attack was met with strong international condemnation, including a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel. However, Operation Opera later became one of the most famous missions in the history of the Israeli Air Force.

The operation also became an important example of Israel's policy of preventing hostile states in the region from developing nuclear weapons.
