Rosh HaNikra Crossing, Border crossing between Israel and Lebanon at the Mediterranean coast.
The Rosh HaNikra Crossing contains three railway tunnels carved through white limestone cliffs where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Israel-Lebanon frontier.
British forces constructed the railway tunnels during World War II as part of their strategic plan to connect Istanbul with Cairo through Palestine.
The crossing serves as a military checkpoint managed by the United Nations Interim Force and Israel Defense Forces, marking the Blue Line demarcation.
Regular citizens cannot pass through this crossing point, as it remains restricted to military personnel and specific diplomatic exchanges.
In 2008, this crossing facilitated a significant prisoner exchange between Israel and Hezbollah, including the return of Israeli soldiers Regev and Goldwasser.
