Yefet Street is one of the main streets of Jaffa and historical road from Old Jaffa to the south. It was named after Noah's son Japhet, founder of the city according to one legend. It links the Clock Square to Bat Yam, where it continues as Balfour Street. The street was once a way around the walls of old Jaffa, and after the demolition of the wall and the growth of the city, became a major commercial street. It was called "Ajami Street", after Ibrahim al-Ajami, the Persian companion of the Prophet. It was part of a road between Jaffa and Gaza. Its bridge over Yehuda Hyamit Street bridge was built during the British Mandate.

The Battle of Jaffa took place during the Crusades, as one of a series of campaigns between the army of Sultan Saladin (Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb) and the Crusader forces led by King Richard I of England (known as Richard the Lionheart). It was the final battle of the Third Crusade, after which Saladin and King Richard were able to negotiate a truce. Although the Crusaders did not regain possession of Jerusalem, Christian pilgrims were permitted entry into the city, and the Crusaders were able to retain control of a sizable strip of land stretching from Beirut to Jaffa. Although largely a footnote among the greater events that unfolded during the Crusades, the battle was a decisive encounter, in that it forced Saladin to negotiate an end to the immediate hostilities. The battle illustrated the determined spirit of Saladin and the courage and tactical skill of Richard. It was the final armed encounter between the two monarchs before the ratification of the Treaty of Jaffa brought the Crusade to an end. The battle ensured that the Crusader presence in the south of Palestine was secure.
