#1 The first bullet factory in Israel was built by the Jewish community in Palestine in 1945, as they knew the British would soon leave and the Arabs would attack. It was a defining moment for Avidar, who knew that Israel would survive if the Jews had quality weapons.

#2 The Ayalon Institute was built on the hilltop, and it was there that the Jewish Scouts movement began working on building bullets. The factory was built to look like a kibbutz so that it would not seem unusual for Jews to be working together.

#3 The Ayalon Institute, which was a subterranean bullet factory, was operational for almost three years, from 1945 until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. It produced more than two million nine-millimeter bullets.

#4 After the war, the Ayalon Institute folded into Israel Military Industries, the country’s first defense company. But that would take some time. In the meantime, Israel needed to get weapons, and it needed them fast.
