Jaffa seen from above

From a high vantage point the camera looks over a dense mass of flat-roofed houses; through them runs a broad, straight strip of bare ground edged with broken walls, and beyond, the built-up plain stretches to the horizon. The source speaks of Jaffa seen from the Franciscan monastery with Tel Aviv in the background. The bare strip appears to be one of the roads the Mandate authorities blasted through the old town in June 1936, demolishing some two hundred houses.
