Qatra Police Station, Heritage fortified police station in Gedera, Israel

The Qatra Police Station features reinforced concrete walls, two floors, and integrated water systems designed to withstand extended security operations.

Constructed in 1941 during the British Mandate, this Tegart fort was part of a network established to maintain control following the Arab Revolt of 1936-1939.

The station represents a period when British colonial architecture merged with local construction methods through the involvement of Jewish trade union builders.

Located at coordinates 31.82252, 34.77687, the structure maintains both its historical designation and continues to operate as a local administrative center.

Engineers incorporated specialized water storage solutions within the fort's design, enabling sustained operations during periods of isolation or conflict.
