Yad Lashiryon, Military museum and memorial in Area C, Palestine
The Yad Lashiryon complex displays over 160 armored combat vehicles, including tanks from different periods, at the historic Latrun police station site.
The British authorities constructed the Latrun fortress in 1940, which later became the foundation for establishing the armored corps memorial site in 1982.
The memorial wall inscribes the names of 5,027 fallen Israeli Armored Corps soldiers, featuring an 18th-century ark from the Jewish community of Pisa.
The museum provides guided educational tours for various age groups, focusing on the military heritage and technical aspects of armored vehicles.
The site includes a Sherman tank mounted on top of the fortress tower, serving as a landmark visible from the surrounding Ayalon Valley.
