The opening as it read in 2010

This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain : Easton, Matthew George (1897). Easton's Bible Dictionary (New and revised ed.). Nelson and Sons. : Missing or empty |title= ( help ) Achziv National Park Achziv - "falsehood". (1.) A town in the Shephelah , or plain country of Judah (Josh. 15:44); probably the same as Chezibh of Gen. 38:5 = Ain Kezbeh. (2.) A Phoenician city (the Gr. Ecdippa), always retained in their possession though assigned to the tribe of Asher (Josh. 19:29; Judg. 1:31) "And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher ... and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzibh". It is identified with the modern es-Zib, on the Mediterranean, about 8 miles north of Acco. Achziv (Cheziv) is featured in Ancient Jewish Rabbinic writings, witness Midrash Vayikra Rabba 37:4. The remnants of Achzibh, now known as Tel Achziv is located on a sandstone mound between two creeks, Kziv creek on the north and Shaal Creek on the south, and close to the border with Lebanon. An ancient port was located on the coast, and another secondary port is located 700 m to the south, at a site called Khirbet ("ruin of-", in Ar.) "port of Achziv". Archeological excavations have revealed that a walled city existed at the location from the Middle Bronze period. History of Achziv goes back to the Chalcolithic period (45-32C BC). King David added the city into his Kingdom, but King Solomon returned it to Hiram as part of the famous pact. During Sancheriv invasions, the Assyrians conquered the city. During the reign of the Seleucids, the border was established at Rosh HaNikra , just north to Achziv, making it a border city, and under the control of Acco. During the Crusader period, a fortress called " Casal Humberti ", named after a knight commander of the fort, was built. The village of Az-Zeeb was located here during the Mamluk and Ottoman periods, the houses erected using the stones of the Crusader castle. The villagers were expelled to Lebanon during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War . During the fight, in 1946, the United Resistance blew up the railroad bridge over the creek at Achziv. In memory of the 14 soldiers who died during operation Markolet ( Night of the Bridges ), a monument was erected. In addition, Kibbutz Gesher-Haziw ("the bright bridge") is named after the fallen fighters, and Kibbutz Yehiam is named after the commander, Yehiam Weitz, who died in the action. Today, Achziv is a national park.¹

Achziv is an ancient site on the Mediterranean coast of northern Israel , between the border with Lebanon and the city of Acre . Today its grounds are shared between a national park , and a beach-side resort in the guise of the " Akhzivland " self-proclaimed micronation . Excavations have unearthed a fortified Canaanite city of the second millennium BCE. The Phoenician town of the first millennium BCE is known both from the Hebrew Bible and Assyrian sources. Phoenician Achzib went through ups and downs during the Persian and Hellenistic periods. In Roman times Acdippa was a road station. The Bordeaux Pilgrim mentions it in 333-334 CE still as a road station; Jewish sources of the Byzantine period call it Kheziv and Gesiv . There is no information about settlement at the site for the Early Muslim period. Crusaders built here a new village with a castle. During the Mamluk and Ottoman periods a modest village occupied the old tell (archaeological mound). This village was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war . Since then the tell has not been resettled, the only permanent resident being an eccentric Israeli who has declared a small stretch of beach-side property to be "independent" and has been welcoming visitors since 1975. Most of the overall site though is part of a national park.
