Take a guided tour of Ayalon Institute Museum, a reconstruction of a hidden bullet factory that played a crucial role in Israel's struggle for independence. The secret factory was established in 1946 and was situated 8 m (25 ft) underground, its entrance disguised by a kibbutz laundry room. On a visit to the historic site, you can hear the story of the 45 men and women who risked everything by working tirelessly on the loud and dangerous ammunition-making machines. Planning Rehovot trip won't be overwhelming when you use Inspirock's itinerary maker.

It's an interesting experience near Tel Aviv. The Ayalon Institute really helped me realize the strength and tenacity of Jewish settlers. They fought for their freedom at a cost most people could never comprehend. I'm not very knowledgeable about military strategy, or Israeli history in general, but I got a lot out of the underground bullet factory. I would absolutely recommend visiting, especially with a good tour guide.
