HaNundalet memorial

HaNundalet memorial is a cenotaph in the Jordan Rift Valley created by artist Arie Moscovitch. The structure was built to honor military personnel who died while serving their country.

A helicopter crash in 1977 claimed the lives of dozens of soldiers and marked one of the deadliest incidents in Israeli military history. The memorial was later erected to ensure these victims would not be forgotten.

The memorial serves as a place where families and military personnel gather to pay respects to those lost. Regular ceremonies held here keep the memory of these individuals alive in the community.

The memorial is located in the Jordan Rift Valley region and can be reached through local pathways. Visitors should prepare for local conditions and plan their visit at an appropriate time.

The memorial marks one of the deadliest aviation disasters in Israeli history and remains an important place for reflection. Many visitors do not realize the crash occurred during a training exercise rather than in combat.
