bauhaus buildings white city tel aviv damaged 1234776001

Two historic Bauhaus-style buildings within Tel Aviv’s UNESCO-listed White City were damaged during a series of missile strikes involving Iran, the US, and Israel. Among the affected structures is the Froma Gurvitz house, a privately owned residence that had undergone restoration a decade ago. The Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv released images of the destruction, emphasizing that these buildings represented symbols of modernity and refuge for German Jewish architects who fled to the region in the 1930s.
