Tzrifin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tzrifin is an area in Gush Dan (Dan Region) in central Israel, located on the eastern side of Rishon LeZion and bordered to the east by Be'er Ya'aqov.
It is well known for its central Israel Defence Forces base, Camp Yigael Yadin (a.k.a. Camp Tzrifin), which contains a multitude of training bases (Bahad 10, Bahad 16, among others), as well as Prison 4, the largest Israeli military prison. The base has three main entrances - Jaffa Gate, Jerusalem Gate and Rishon LeZion gate.
The Asaf HaRofe Hospital is located near the base and provides healthcare for both soldiers and civilians.
There is a plan to sell the entire land of Tzrifin to private contractors due to high land value, and relocate the military base elsewhere.
