The fortress and observation point is located in the Upper Galilee , close to the tomb of Nabi Yusha . The fortress is not a " Tegart fort " — it is not as large as a Tegart, and it has a round turret. It was commissioned by the British and constructed by Solel Boneh . It was a key observation point in the Naftali heights , overlooking the Hula Valley , and used mostly in an attempt to block the Palestine/Lebanon border. Koach has a double meaning: in gematria it corresponds to 28 (the number of fallen soldiers), and the Hebrew word "כח" means "strength". Today, the fortress serves as an Israel Border Police base.
