The Black Arrow monument

The Black Arrow monument is a military cenotaph in Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council featuring stone structures with information about operations from the 1950s. The site includes seating areas and overlooks the border region.

The memorial was built in 2003 to commemorate military operations that took place in the region during the 1950s. That period shaped the border areas and left lasting marks on local history.

The memorial sits within the kibbutz landscape and serves as a place where visitors can learn about military operations through informational plaques integrated into the stone structures. The site invites quiet reflection while discovering details about past events.

The memorial is located near Kibbutz Mefalsim and reached via well-maintained pathways. Visitors will find picnic tables and can explore the site on foot.

Each stone block at this location carries information about individual missions and serves as an open-air archive carved into the landscape. This unusual form of documentation blends memory with the land itself.
