IDF 184th Tank Battalion Memorial

IDF 184th Tank Battalion Memorial, Military memorial in Jerusalem corridor, Israel.

The 184th Tank Battalion Memorial stands at a trail junction in the King and Queen of Spain Forest, about five kilometres north of Beit Shemesh. A carved wall faces a paved, fenced square with a large natural pine in one corner. Gaps in the wall form the silhouette of soldiers seated on a tank turret, with the battalion and 14th Brigade insignia above. Six black stone panels set at an angle bear the names of 102 fallen soldiers; the wall's left side curves like a turret, with tank and APC track sections and flagpoles below.

The memorial was built in 2003 and designed by architect Yehuda Yahav to honor the 184th Tank Battalion. It emerged as part of Israel's tradition of preserving the memory of military service through permanent structures.

The battalion's nickname, "Lionhearted Knights," was taken from the IDF's Operation Abirei Lev, the crossing to the canal's west bank. Six black stone panels in front of the wall bear the names of 102 fallen soldiers, and a plaque on the wall's right side tells the battalion's story. Parts of a tank and APC track are fixed to the base of the arched left wing, below Israeli and Armored Corps flags.

The memorial stands at a trail junction in the King and Queen of Spain Forest (part of Tzorea Forest), beside Moshav Tzurim about five kilometres north of Beit Shemesh. A large natural pine tree grows in the corner of the paved, fenced square in front of the wall. Parts of a tank and armoured personnel carrier track are fixed to the base of the wall's arched left side.

Six black stone slabs stand at an angle beneath the soldier silhouette, their outline reading as the tank hull under the turret. They carry the names of 102 fallen battalion members since its founding in 1967, more than the 80 killed in the Yom Kippur War alone.
