Hatikva Quarter

On 19th January 1991 during the First Gulf War a shelter just in front of Beit Dani was directly hit by an Iraqi Scud rocket.

Although the shelter was used by the neighbours regularly, just on this day after the alarm the lock malfunctionned.

[4] To commemorate the escape an iron memorial (named "Angel of peace") with 3 wings was erected in 1992 in front of Beit Dani, inscribed at the bottom with biblical words in Hebrew ("covering with their wings" (Exodus 25:20)).

[5] The Shevah Mofet school is located on the site of the Steinbeck farm house.

[6] The neighbourhood is also home to the Yoram Loewenstein Performing Arts Studio, where some of Israel's leading actors trained.
