Egrof veRomach memorial, Military cenotaph at Givat Ha'koach Junction, Israel

The Egrof veRomach memorial consists of two distinct monuments that incorporate authentic military equipment from the Sinai Peninsula to commemorate fallen soldiers of the Reserve Armored Brigade. The structures combine physical artifacts with personal stories from military operations.

The memorial was first set up near Refidim in Sinai for the fallen of the 27th Armored Brigade (Egrof veRomach). In 1980, ahead of Israel's withdrawal from Sinai under the peace treaty with Egypt, it was moved to the edge of the Kula Forest. After Highway 6 was built, it was relocated to Givat Koach Junction and enlarged, and with the new interchange it was moved about 500 m east beside Road 465, completed for Memorial Day 2018.

The memorial is named for the Armored Brigade 27, known as "Egrof veRomach" (Fist and Spear). Its 147 fallen soldiers are commemorated by name, and the damaged AMX-13 tank and two armored personnel carriers from the battle west of Refidim are displayed as part of the site.

The memorial stands beside Highway 465, about 500 m east of Givat Koach Junction, east of Highway 444; it was moved here when the new interchange was built, and construction finished before Memorial Day 2018. It is reached by road, and the tank and two armored personnel carriers stand outdoors, so allow time to walk between them and read the 147 names.

The memorial incorporates authentic objects from the Sinai Peninsula that directly connect to the actual locations where military operations took place. This physical link makes the historical events tangible and place-specific for visitors.
