The water pool towers
On the water pools in a wooden shack, the "Hagana" signal station operated in Rishon Lezion.
Contact with the appointed headquarters and the settlements in the area was made mainly at night, using a Lux signal lantern and during the day using the heliograph and Morse flags. In the years 1940 - 1948, the Notrim station and the Jewish Settlements Police and the M"N (Moving Guard) were located there. The station housed the legal weapons: rifles, hand grenades, machine guns and ammunition.
Hundreds of members of the "Haganah", specials (sworn as additional police officers). Had training on the spot. The policemen were the recruited force of the "Haganah" who were equipped with English weapons and military uniforms and financed by the British government. Most of the "Hagana" commanders in the Rishon Lezion area received their military training in courses for "Hagana" commanders. while serving as monitors.
