Tel Hai Roaring Lion Monument, Memorial monument in Tel Hai, Israel
The Roaring Lion Monument stands on a massive stone base, featuring a lion with its head raised in a roar facing east at Tel Hai Cemetery.
Abraham Melnikoff created this monument in 1934 to commemorate eight defenders who died during the Tel Hai battle on March 1, 1920.
The monument serves as a national memorial site where annual ceremonies honor the memory of Jewish pioneers who protected early settlements in northern Israel.
The monument includes an inscribed stone tablet with the names of the fallen defenders and the phrase 'It is good to die for our country'.
The lion sculpture draws inspiration from ancient Assyrian reliefs, making it one of the first memorial monuments constructed in pre-state Israel.
