METZUDAT KO AH (Al-Nabi Yusha Police Station)
Following the Arab revolt in 1936, the British counterterrorism expert, Sir Charles Tegart, designed a defense system on the northern border of Mandatory Palestine with Lebanon and Syria. The defense system consisted of a fence, a road, 20 guard posts (pillboxes), and 5 fortified police stations. One of those was the Al-Nabi Yusha Police Station. In January 1939, the building was dedicated and manned by British, Arab, and Jewish policemen. Early in 1941, facing the threat of a French-German invasion from Lebanon, antitank barriers and bomb shelters for soldiers were added to the building. In the War of Independence, in 1948, three attacks were made against the police station, before it was finally conquered by our soldiers. 28 Haganah and Palmah soldiers fell in those battles, giving the site the name Metzudat Ko’ah – with the dual meaning of fortress of the 28″ and fortress of power (corresponding to the numerical value of the Hebrew letters Kaf and Het spelling Koah-power”)
Through the initiative of the late Yehuda Dekel, a visitors’ center was established on the site – The Re’ut (Camaraderie”) Museum. The museum was established in 2014 by the Society for Preservation of Israel Heritage Sites
