The Black Arrow monument, Military memorial in Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council, Israel.

The Black Arrow Memorial features stone plaques detailing eleven retaliatory operations conducted by Israeli paratroopers between 1953 and 1956 in Gaza.

Built in 2003, this cenotaph commemorates Israeli soldiers who died during Operation Black Arrow, a military response against Egyptian forces in Gaza on February 28, 1955.

The memorial integrates military history education with outdoor recreational spaces through audio stations providing detailed explanations in Hebrew and English.

Located near Kibbutz Mefalsim, the site includes accessible pathways and picnic tables, offering visitors clear views over the patrol road along the Gaza Strip border.

Each large rock at the memorial site contains specific information about individual military raids, creating an outdoor historical documentation system.
