Information and Review of the The Monument Of Heroism

The monument was designed by Jerusalem sculptor Naomi Henryk and was inaugurated at a festive ceremony held on March 15, 1967, in the presence of the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Levi Eshkol, veteran fighters of the Harel Palmach Brigade, the participants in Operation Nachshon, IDF Chief of Staff Yitzhak Rabin and Central Command Chief Uzi Narkis, and the bereaved families.

The monument was erected on the Mashav hill above the Shoresh interchange (north of Highway 1). This hill was located on the hill of Khyrbet a-Zankula, which was destroyed during the War of Independence, leaving a remnant of one house. The hilltop reaches 662 meters above sea level and offers a view of the coastal plain.
