After living in his self-built cave-house on Sidna Ali Beach[1] in Apollonia National Park since 1974, Kahlon was ordered to leave by the Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection.[2][3] According to Kahlon, the Ministry claim his house is dangerous to the stability of the cliff into which it is built.[2]

His home has a well, no electricity, and no telephone.[4] It is constructed using discarded materials.[2]

Kahlon was the subject of the documentary Appollonian Story,[5] directed by Ilan Moskovitch and Dan Bronfeld.[3]

Personal life

Kahlon was aged 67 in 2014.[3] Kahlon is divorced and is the father of three children,[4] including a son who was 18 years old in 2014.[3] He is Jewish.[4]
