David Leibowitz House In the house at 34 Eliyahu Krause Street lived David Leibowitz (1904-1969), a mortar inventor, the Davidka, who served our forces as heavy artillery during the War of Independence.
David Leibowitz, a graduate of a technical school in the USSR, immigrated to Israel in 1927 and was a teacher and technical director at the Mikve Israel agricultural school, near the city of Holon. David Leibowitz enlisted in the Haganah and became one of the pillars of the military industry.
