Memorials in Jerusalem to the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, War memorial cenotaph in Jerusalem, Israel.
Twenty-two memorials were erected in Jerusalem after the Six-Day War, nearly all Israeli. Ten of them, dedicated in 1968, share one form: a broad upright stone slab set on a mound of local stones, with the brigade emblem carved at the top, the names of the fallen below and the circumstances of their death, and the inscription "Jerusalem, Iyar 5727" along the edge. A small garden surrounds each slab.
The memorial was built to honor Israeli soldiers who died in the conflict that reshaped Middle Eastern borders in 1967. This military conflict lasted only six days but fundamentally changed the region's geopolitics.
Families, veterans, and officials gather here each year for ceremonies that honor those who died in the 1967 conflict. These gatherings connect mourning with a shared sense of history that remains alive for many in the city.
The memorial is accessible throughout the year and visitors can explore the different areas independently without special requirements. The location is centrally situated in Jerusalem and is easy to reach on foot, with information boards helping with orientation.
The Givat HaTahmoshet site preserves the bunkers, trenches and buildings of the Jordanian military post captured in the battle, and displays Israeli military vehicles and weapons. Its museum complex occupies arched buildings, and the memorial to the fallen of Battalion 66 stands at the site's highest point.
