Yechiam Convoy Memorial

Yechiam Convoy Memorial, Memorial cenotaph in Western Galilee, Israel.

The Yechiam Convoy Memorial stands in the Kabri forest, south of the Kabri junction and east of Moshav Netiv HaShayara, on the old "Bakkish road" where the convoy was ambushed. Architect Yechiel Arad, whose brother Moshe Plotzer fell in the convoy, designed it around a sculpted concrete wall shaped like a roadblock, with a relief map of the battle at its foot, a battle description on the right and a window facing the old Kabri village cemetery. Wrecked armored vehicles flank the road; the site opened in March 1969.

On 27 March 1948 a supply convoy of the Carmeli Brigade's 21st Battalion left Nahariya for Kibbutz Yechiam and was ambushed near Kabri; 46 fighters were killed. In the early 1950s the Defence Ministry and the Ga'aton regional council erected a stone-clad, three-pointed memorial column at the site, inaugurated in 1952. In the 1960s the council added a reconstruction of the battle, designed by architect Yechiel Arad and inaugurated in March 1969.

The memorial was designed by architect Yechiel Arad, whose brother Moshe Plotzer fell in the convoy, after sculptor Yechiel Shemi stepped aside so Arad could take the commission. A window in the concrete wall frames the old cemetery of Kabri village, from where fire opened on the convoy.

The memorial sits beside the old "Baqbish road" at the spot where the convoy was ambushed, south of the Kabri junction and east of Moshav Netiv HaShayara. A recorded explanation is available in Hebrew and English, and picnic tables and shaded seating corners stand among the trees.

The concrete wall is shaped like a roadblock, and a window at its centre was placed to look toward the old cemetery of Kabri village, from where fire opened on the convoy. Scrap metal from armoured vehicles lies along both sides of the old road.
