Ayalon Institute's fascinating story is about a top secret operation which occurred between the end of the Second World War and Israel's independence (1945-1948). On Kibbutzim Hill, north of the city of Rehovot, under the vigilant eyes of the British who ruled the area, a clandestine bullet factory was built underground. The plant was code named " The Ayalon Institute" by members of the Haganah. The building and operation of the "Institute" was a co-operative effort by members of "Hatzofim Aleph" (a pioneer group) and people from the local Jewish clandestine military, who moved to Kibbutzim Hill.. Two shafts leading to the underground plant were disguised under a laundry room and a bakery. After the establishment of the State of Israel, the bullet making machines were moved to a centralized factory. Members of Hatzofim Aleph left Kibbutzim Hill and founded Kibbutz Ma'agan Micha'el in 1949.

Private tour of this intricate and amazing, secret bullet making factory, was just another tale of the Israeli resistance, perseverance and sheer will to survive at all costs. Over 6000 bullets were made here to fight against the resistance, all quietly going on, under the guise of a bakery.

This place is great for spending spare time with people, in the open air, with water activities, good food, coffee and snacks widely available nearby. Safe for children, the sea is nearby, a beautiful view of it from the boardwalk on a cliff above the sea. A great place to take the family for time out.

The IDF army day program. Upon arriving at Latrun the participants will receive their uniform and weapon (we can provide printed shirts with our emblem and name of group/family) then taken on the guided tour with an active duty soldier, at the end of the tour the participants will be taken to the laser tag field where they will learn some of the basics that soldiers get greeted with upon joining the army. Teamwork, leadership, discipline. They will then be trained in how the IDF special forces takes firing positions: Standing, kneeling and laying with dummy rifles. They will also be thought some elements of krav maga like how to defend against a knife wielding attacker, the participants will get to practice with dummy knifes. Handling this program is a former commander within the Israeli counter terror unit (LOTAR) that has trained the IDF elites. After learning the basics of being a soldier the participants will receive the most advanced laser tag equipment in Israel used in training our armed forces and they will be ready for battle. Throughout an hour and half the participants will play through scenarios built to create the same kind of teamwork and leadership seen in the IDF like "protect the leader", "search and retrieve". After all this the participants will be awarded with a certificate for completing the program.

Victory Monument is located on a beautiful cliff above Mediterranean. All around the year fresh sea wind strokes your face The memorial consists of two elements which symbolize the transition from darkness to light reflecting the Russian military victory to stop the Holocaust of the Jewish people, followed by the establishment of the Jewish state in Israel. The memorial is designed as a maze, in which key tragic events in the history of the Jewish people during the Holocaust are depicted in reliefs. A representation of the Second World War is contained in black bunker. On the right describes the Holocaust, and on the left describes the war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. At the end of the maze - the emergence into the light and open air, where white wings soar to the heavens as a symbol of victory, hope and peace, against the backdrop of Netanya's coastline.
