Bedouin Soldiers Memorial

The Bedouin Soldiers Memorial is a cenotaph and monument in Lower Galilee featuring stone structures, gardens, and exhibition spaces. The site comprises several areas for visitors, including an herb garden, a circular photo gallery, and an archive center.

The memorial was established in 1993 to honor over 230 Bedouin soldiers who died during military service. This marked a significant moment in formally recognizing the community's contribution to national defense.

The memorial recognizes the importance of military service within the Bedouin community and shows how this chapter of their history is made visible today. Visitors can engage with personal stories and documents that represent the lives of these soldiers and their families.

The memorial is situated near Hamovil Junction and is easily accessible by car. The different sections are arranged for families and groups to visit, with quiet areas designed for reflection and contemplation.

The Garden of the Broken Heart uses natural grey rocks shaped like human figures to commemorate soldiers. This artistic arrangement serves as a tribute to those whose final resting places remain unknown or inaccessible.
