Yiftach Brigade Memorial in the Negev, War memorial cenotaph in Negev, Israel
The memorial spans 10,000 square meters with eighteen concrete elements, including a perforated tower and pipeline tunnel positioned near Beersheba.
The Yiftach Brigade Memorial, created by Chilik Arad, commemorates 324 soldiers who fought in the Palmach Negev Brigade during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
The monument features engraved names of fallen soldiers, diary excerpts, battle registries, biblical verses, and traditional military songs carved into stone.
Visitors can reach the memorial site by taking Road 40 near Beit Kama and Rama Junction in the northern section of the Negev region.
Each architectural element carries specific symbolism, with the perforated tower representing a shelled watchtower and the tunnel recalling defended water channels.
