Palmaḥ. Ḥaṭivat Harʼel, Military memorial in Jerusalem, Israel

The Palmaḥ Ḥaṭivat Harʼel Memorial is a military cenotaph in Jerusalem featuring geometric stone forms and landscaped grounds. Architects Dani Karavan and Zvi Dekel designed the space to guide visitors along pathways that connect different areas of remembrance.

The memorial honors the Harel Brigade, a unit that emerged from the Palmach forces during the country's founding period in the 1940s. This brigade played a crucial role in transitioning from underground resistance to formal military organization.

The outer wall bears the site's name, the Palmach emblem and the first line of the Palmach anthem; the inner wall lists 438 Harel Brigade fallen of the 1948 war, most killed on the road to Jerusalem and in the city. The brigade's two wartime commanders, Yitzhak Rabin and Yosef Tabenkin, are named alongside. An ela tree stood here before the memorial was built.

The double stone wall changes height along the slope: on the upper side it sits at ground level and gives pedestrian entry to the enclosed area, while downhill it rises to four metres. A walking path runs along its top, overlooking the garden and Jerusalem, with the brigade's battle sites and accounts of its battles engraved on the railings of both sides.

The inner wall lists the names of 438 Harel Brigade soldiers killed in the 1948 war, most of them on the road to Jerusalem and in the city itself, alongside the brigade's two wartime commanders, Yitzhak Rabin and Yosef Tabenkin. An ela tree stood on the slope before the memorial was built and now rises from the centre of the walled circle.
