Lev HaMifratz has three floors of stores, a food court, an underground parking garage, and an above ground parking garage. In the past, it included an amusement park, a miniature golf course and an ice skating rink.[citation needed]
The area around Lev HaMifratz is also a transportation hub. Behind it is a train station, with trains to Nahariya and Tel Aviv. The entrance to the station is from the above ground parking garage.[citation needed] It is also adjacent to the Haifa Bay Central Bus Station, which is the main junction between the Krayot and the city of Haifa.[citation needed]
During construction, the mall was hit by an Iraqi Scud missile in the course of the 1991 Gulf War.[2][3]
On March 21, 2009, terrorists attempted to bomb the mall. The terror attack was thwarted when police sappers disarmed a bomb weighing dozens of kilograms in a car outside the mall Saturday night. Israeli police suspect Hezbollah or another organization with links to Iran was behind the attempted bombing.[4]
