Ha-Kirya – Israeli Defence Force (IDF) headquarters is located in Yitzhak Rabin base in Tel Aviv. (Hebrew: מַחֲנֶה רַבִּין, Mahaneh Rabin), named for Yitzhak Rabin. It was one of the first IDF bases and has served as the IDF headquarters since its founding in 1948.
Amongst the military facilities in the Kirya are the Israeli Air Force (IAF) Admin Headquarters, Israeli Navy headquarters and the "Bor" – IDF's underground command centre. The Kirya also houses Israel's Ministry of Defence building, as well as the PM's office in Tel Aviv (while main office is in Jerusalem).
The Kirya today consists of a northern section, used for the military base, and the southern, a business district mostly under construction as of 2008, which includes the Kirya Tower. These sections are separated by Kaplan Street. The military base is home to the Matcal Tower and Marganit Tower, and serves as the headquarters of the IDF's General Staff. From 1951 to 1998, the former new school of Sarona was home to a large birthing center (Hakirya Maternity Hospital), closed when the newer Lis Maternity Hospital was opened in the adjacent Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center.
There are plans to evacuate parts of the northern section (military base), including the dining room, in favor of the Tel Aviv Light Rail and private development. Plans also exist to build five new towers in the base, including new structures for the Military Intelligence Directorate and Navy.
