The opening as it read in 2010
Abu Kabir ( ) was a satellite village of Jaffa founded by Egyptians following Ibrahim Pasha 's 1832 defeat of Turkish forces in Ottoman era Palestine . After Israel 's establishment in 1948, this area became Giv'at Herzl ( , lit. Herzl 's hill), a neighborhood in Tel Aviv-Yafo , though the name Abu Kabir ( ) is still used. Situated on the main road from Jaffa to Jerusalem, Abu Kabir was first known as Sakenat Abu Kabir . Located to the east of Jaffa, it was separated from it by gardens and orchards until Jaffa expanded such that Abu Kabir came to a border neighborhood of the city. The Sabil Abu Nabbut was situated in the gardens nearby, as were tombs discovered by locals and identified as an ancient Jewish necropolis by a French archaeologist who visited Abu Kabir in the late 19th century. The gardens would turn into a marshy lake in the winter season known as al-Bassa . Following the killing of three Jewish passengers by a group of Arabs in Abu Kabir on 1 December 1947, the Haganah and Irgun attacked, blowing up a home and killing two people. Further attacks by these forces on the village followed, causing further casualties. In March 1948, after many of Abu Kabir's inhabitants had left, houses were blown up and the neighborhood was shelled. Today, the name Abu Kabir continues to be used to refer to the area and a number of important Israeli institutions located there.1
