Gadot lookout, Military memorial and observation point in Golan Heights, Israel
The lookout incorporates steel barriers and stone structures into a memorial design overlooking the expansive Hula Valley and Mount Hermon peaks.
The site transformed from a Syrian military post known as El Murtapha into an Israeli memorial after its capture during the Six Day War in 1967.
The memorial features a large wing-shaped sculpture by Ezra Orion, where visitors place stones according to Jewish tradition to honor fallen soldiers.
The observation point remains open throughout the day and night, with designated paths marked for safety due to the presence of old minefields.
The memorial structure includes original Syrian bunkers and trenches that now serve as educational exhibits about the regional military history.
