Passage of Jaffa Gate
The gate has an L-shaped passage for greater security. Currently used only by pedestrians. There is a version that the previously described breach was made for the Kaiser because his carriage could not pass through these gates. General Edmund Allenby, commander of the British forces that recaptured Jerusalem from the Turks on December 9, 1917, walked through these gates out of respect for the Holy City. There are streets named after Allenbys in many Israeli cities, but none of them have streets named after the German Kaiser.
