HaNundalet memorial

HaNundalet memorial, Cenotaph memorial in Jordan Rift Valley, Israel.

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's design by painter Arie Moscovitch uses stone slabs forming the Hebrew letters "נ"ד", the abbreviation by which the disaster is known. An annual memorial ceremony is held beside it for the fallen, attended by bereaved families and former comrades-in-arms. In the 1980s a "HaNundalet Race" finished at the hill. A grove of 54 olive trees surrounds the site, each tree paired with a stone engraved with one victim's name.

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 stands on the hill where the helicopter came down on 10 May 1977, killing 44 soldiers of Battalion 890 and 10 aircrew. The site is not a declared memorial, so the Ministry of Defence does not maintain it; residents of nearby Einot Kedem farm cared for it during the 2000s, and restoration work was carried out for the 40th anniversary.
