Memorial to the Fallen of South Lebanon Army

Memorial to the Fallen of South Lebanon Army, Cenotaph in Metula, Israel.

The Memorial to the Fallen of the South Lebanon Army stands near Metula on about 2,800 square metres of exposed concrete, with motifs taken from the original memorial blown up near Marjayoun in 2000. The site holds a memorial plaza with an olive tree, an observation area, a grove and a parking compound.

The memorial was established in 2021 to honor South Lebanon Army members who supported Israeli military operations from the late 1970s until 2000. This period marked important years of border relations between the two countries.

The memorial carries motifs copied from the original Marjayoun monument, which was blown up by Hezbollah after the May 2000 withdrawal. At its heart is an olive tree in the commemoration plaza, chosen as a symbol of hope and peace, and a grove of trees stands beside the viewing area.

The monument sits near the Lebanese border and is accessible via the main roads of Metula, with informational panels on site. Visitors should be aware of the border location and plan accordingly for local conditions.

The first memorial stood near Marjayoun and was blown up by Hezbollah two days after its dedication on 22 May 2000, attended by Gaby Ashkenazi and Benny Gantz. The replacement near Metula, built in 2020–2021 for 2.4 million shekels, reuses motifs from the destroyed original.
