Haifa -?efa-?ayf? is the largest city in Northern Israel, and the third-largest city in Israel. Haifa has a mixed population of Jews and Arabs. It is also home to the Bahá'í World Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Haifa, built on the slopes of Mount Carmel, has a history dating back to Biblical times. The earliest known settlement in the vicinity was Tell Abu Hawam, a small port city established in the Late Bronze Age (14th century BCE). In the 3rd century CE, Haifa was known as a dye-making center. Over the centuries, the city has changed hands: It has been conquered and ruled by the Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottomans, Egyptians, and the British. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the city has been governed by the Haifa Municipality. Haifa's Old City remains, today in a state of neglect, are some of the most ancient in the region. Today, the city is a major seaport located on Israel's Mediterranean coastline in the Bay of Haifa. Haifa is the major regional center of northern Israel. Two respected academic institutions, the University of Haifa and the Technion, are located in Haifa, and the city plays an important role in Israel's economy. It has several high-tech parks, among them the oldest and largest in the country, an industrial port and an oil refinery. Photo by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye

The 72nd navel ceremony of the Israeli Submarine Flotilla in Haifa port on Sunday 16 December 2007. The Israeli Submarine Flotilla is elite and voluntary serving as the attacking underwater force of the Israel Navy. In the last few months the unit and submarine has stopped a few enemy submarines to enter Israeli water. The unit's roles are: enemies vessels destruction, control at port entries, secret espionage missions and assistance to other forces participating in battle. The most dominant advantage of the submarine is its secrecy. About 50% of their time, the submarines conduct operational activities outside of the Israel's borders. By their means, it is possible to stray for from the Israel's borders and to observe the enemy's steps. This unique advantage does not exist in any other war craft in the IDF. Due to the operational importance, the crew and the submarine must be operationally prepared to a war all the time. The service onboard the submarines, enables a soldier to join the most high-standard crew of men, enclosing about 1700 fighters from the Submarine Flotilla establishment in 1959. In 2006 the Israeli Navy ordered two additional nuclear weapon capable submarines (Type 214 - Dolphin Class) from a German manufacturer, giving it an offensive capability to launch cruise and nuclear weapons, as well as a second strike survivability/relaunch capability.
