Kiryat Anavim Military Cemetery, Military cemetery and cenotaph in Kiryat Anavim, Israel.
The cemetery contains 154 graves arranged in orderly rows along maintained paths within a wadi surrounded by hills and trees.
During the 1948 War of Independence, soldiers from the Harel Brigade who fought to secure routes to Jerusalem were laid to rest in this cemetery.
A limestone monument created by sculptor Menahem Shemi stands at the eastern section, commemorating fallen soldiers including his son Jimmy Schmidt.
The entrance features a fig tree on the right side and includes separate sections for kibbutz members and military personnel on opposite sides.
Over an eleven-month period during the independence struggles, 138 fighters from the Harel Brigade were interred at this location.
