Israel Takes Action to Remove Long-Term Squatter from Coastal Cave

Nissim Kahlon, a 77-year-old man, has spent over 50 years transforming a cave on a Mediterranean beach in Israel into an elaborate underground home filled with chiseled tunnels and mosaic floors. However, the Israeli government has served him an eviction notice, claiming the structure is illegal and threatens the coastline. Kahlon, who has never received a building permit, argues that local authorities connected his cave to the electric grid decades ago. A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to support his legal defense, while he continues to fight for his unique home.
