Jaffa Port

Jaffa Port (Hebrew: נמל יפו, Nemal Yāfō; Arabic: ميناء يافا, Menʿā Yāfā) is an ancient port situated on the Mediterranean Sea.

In 1917, during World War I, British troops under Edmund Allenby defeated the Ottoman Empire and took Jaffa, which then became part of Mandatory Palestine.

On 13 May 1948 (a day before the Israeli Declaration of Independence), Arab forces in Jaffa were defeated after a lengthy fight with the Haganah and the Irgun.
