The opening as it read in 2025
Castel National Park ( Hebrew : גן לאומי קסטל ) is an Israeli national park , which consists of a fortified summit in the Judean Mountains , at the site of the former Palestinian village of Al-Qastal , known to Hebrew-speakers as HaCástel , "the Cástel". It is located 8 km west of Jerusalem on the road linking it to Tel Aviv ( Highway 1 ). The site is mostly known as the place of the key battles of Operation Nachshon , which were fought there in April 1948 during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War . Fierce battles that claimed many lives took place there as Arabs and Jews fought for control of the site, which overlooked the main Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway. Castel exchanged hands several times in the course of the fighting. The tides turned when the revered Arab commander, Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni , was killed. Many of the Arabs left their positions to attend al-Husayni's funeral at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Friday, April 9. That same day, Castel fell to the Israeli forces virtually unopposed. The national park includes a memorial for the Israeli soldiers who died there, including a monument designed in 1980 by Yitzhak Yamin and a memorial to the convoys that tried to break through the blockade of Jerusalem .
