Solomon Haimson's Burial Site Discovered in Haifa, Fallen in 1948 Cyprus Detention Camp Incident

The grave of Solomon Haimson, an Israeli soldier who died in 1948, has been located in Haifa. Haimson was killed by gunfire from guards at detention camps in Cyprus, where many Jewish refugees were held during the British Mandate period. The discovery was reported by Channel 13 news and confirmed by the IDF spokesperson's office. This finding sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of Israeli history related to the struggle for statehood and the plight of Jewish detainees in Cyprus camps.
