The opening as it read in 2010
Tegart police fort at Latrun A Tegart fort is a style of militarized police "fortress" constructed throughout Palestine during the British Mandatory period .1The forts are named after British police officer and engineer Sir Charles Tegart , who designed them in 1938 based on his experiences in the Indian insurgency . Tens of the reinforced concrete block structures were built to the same basic plan, both along the so-called " Tegart's wall " of the northern border with Lebanon and Syria , and at strategic intersections in the interior of Palestine. Many of them stand to this day, and some continue to be used as jails. Others are in use as police stations (e.g. in Rehovot and Ness Ziona ). One is used for the controversial Camp 1391 prison for "high-risk" prisoners. The one in Hebron has been used succesively as the headquarters of the Jordanian administration between 1949 and 1967, of the Israeli military governor between 1967 and 1997, and of the Palestinian Authority 's governor between 1997 and 2002. At the latter year it was destroyed when the city was reconquered by Israeli forces in Operation Defensive Shield .2
