Elephant Pass is a narrow strategic isthmus in northern Sri Lanka that links the Jaffna Peninsula to the mainland. It has long been a vital transportation and military gateway for control of Jaffna and the surrounding Northern Province, and was the scene of several major battles during the Sri Lankan civil conflict, giving it prominent news visibility in connection with Sri Lanka’s affairs.
