Ad Halom, Historical bridge and heritage site in Ashdod, Israel.
The Ad Halom complex includes three bridges that cross the Lakhish River at the eastern entrance of Ashdod, connecting major transportation routes.
During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Ad Halom marked the northernmost point reached by Egyptian forces and became the site of the first Israeli Air Force combat mission.
The site features a memorial with inscriptions in Arabic, Hebrew, English, and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, commemorating soldiers who lost their lives in battle.
The Ad Halom Railway Station, opened in 2004, provides direct train connections to Tel Aviv and Ashkelon for regular commuters and visitors.
A preserved British pillbox from the 1936-1939 period stands near the bridges, offering insights into the defensive structures of the Mandate era.
