At the border of Lebanon and Israel are the Sea Grottos of Rosh Hanikra. The cliffs are made of chalk with flint stones protruding from the sides. The flints were formed from sea creature sediments that built up over time and the sea caves formed from the underground shocks that created gaps in the rocks that expanded over time to build the sea caves.
In 1943, the British built a tunnel to connect the Middle East with Europe to support the British troops during the war obtain their supplies. The tunnel was completed within a year and it brought many Jewish refugees from concentration camps to Israel. However, in 1948, fighters of the Haganah blew up the bridge to the tunnel to prevent the passage of Lebanese weapons and soldiers in. Today, it remains a closed off tunnel. Just up the road is the border to Lebanon that doesn't seem functional.
