During the War of Independance, 
the Tel Aviv Port was a gateway 
used to deliver weapons and arms 
to the defense forces. 
On April 1, 1948, the Hagana ship 
"Nora" broke the British naval 
blockade, as did other ships, 
enabling the IDF to fend off 
attacks by Arab armies. 
The mission was carried out by 
Hagana members and 
Palyam seamen who 
escorted the ships, assisted 
by Tel Aviv Port workers.
