Mitzpeh Eitan, Memorial viewpoint in Western Galilee, Israel

Mitzpeh Eitan is a memorial lookout on the road from the Northern Highway to Kibbutz Adamit, near the Lebanese border. Its observation area is a platform of local stone enclosed by a stone wall, with a cairn bearing a memorial plaque. The plaque lists Eitan Levav's combat route and the dates 4.9.1960 and 17.6.1982.

The site was inaugurated on 12 June 2015 by the Levav family with Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael. It honours Lieutenant Eitan Levav of the 202nd Paratroopers Battalion, killed on 17 June 1982 in west Beirut during the First Lebanon War. His mother Zahava, brother Doron and reserve general Yoram Yair attended the unveiling.

The name joins mitzpeh, Hebrew for lookout, with Eitan Lavav, the lieutenant from the 202nd Paratroopers Battalion killed in west Beirut on 17 June 1982. His family and Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael built the site, inaugurated on 12 June 2015, when his mother Zehava, his brother Doron and veterans of the battalion unveiled the stone marker.

The site sits on the road climbing from the Northern Highway to Kibbutz Adamit, near the Adamit Park and the Lebanese border. A marked access path leads to the observation platform, and ramps, handrails and a wheelchair-suitable trail have been installed. Picnic tables and a rest area for visitors are provided on site.

The three emblems on the stone slab record Eitan Lavav's units: a parachute badge, a blue-and-green insignia bearing the number 77, and a red shield with a white animal. The dates 4.9.1960 and 17.6.1982 mark his birth and his death in West Beirut.
