Thank you for your comment, my friend Rafi, Happy Holidays!
Migdal Armon is one of the biggest disasters in Haifa, they don't know how to protect architectural treasures here. They destroyed the Armon cinema in favor of a monster that mars the entire landscape of Hadar.
Thanks for your comment, Happy holiday!
