Holon Military Cemetery

Holon Military Cemetery is a burial ground for fallen soldiers located in the eastern part of Holon, featuring organized rows of stone grave markers. The grounds include designated memorial areas and maintain pathways that allow visitors to move through different sections.

The cemetery was established in 1974 as Israel developed dedicated spaces to honor military personnel who died during service. This founding occurred during a period when the nation was systematically building infrastructure for remembering those lost.

The cemetery serves as a place where visitors encounter people from across society gathering to pay respects to those who fell in service. The names and details on the graves tell individual stories of people who served during different periods.

The cemetery can be accessed from multiple sides: from the eastern Rishon Le'Zion area with vehicle access or from the Bat Yam direction on foot. Visitors should plan to walk through the grounds at a measured pace and dress appropriately for outdoor conditions.

The cemetery houses 13 documented memorials scattered across its grounds, each representing different military periods. Local volunteers maintain detailed photographic records of every grave, making the site an important resource for those researching family history.
