Yechiam Convoy Memorial

The Yechiam Convoy Memorial stands at the Kabri intersection as a stone structure with inscriptions and commemorative elements designed by architect Chilik Arad in 1969. The site features information panels and a visitor area that marks a significant location in the region.

The memorial marks where 47 Haganah members died on March 27, 1948, during an ambush while attempting to deliver supplies to remote settlements. This incident was part of the broader armed conflict that occurred in the region during the establishment of the state.

The site serves as a place where visitors encounter the story of ordinary people who were part of wartime events. Educational displays help people understand the context of this period through personal accounts and visual records.

The memorial is located at a road intersection with parking facilities available for visitors arriving by car. Information panels in multiple languages provide context and help visitors understand the significance of the site.

The design of the memorial incorporates architectural references to the seven supply trucks that were part of the original convoy mission. These design choices help visitors connect with the scale and reality of the historical event.
