Nachlat Itzhak Military Cemetery

Nachlat Itzhak Military Cemetery, A military cemetery in the Nachalat Yitzhak neighborhood.

Nachlat Itzhak Military Cemetery is a burial ground in Givatayim near Tel Aviv where many soldiers are laid to rest. The site consists of neatly arranged gravestones in rows, with simple markers bearing names and dates, some decorated with small flags or symbols.

The military section began in early 1948, when the Chevra Kadisha allocated plots in the Nachlat Itzhak civilian cemetery for fallen defenders. After the 1948 war the Defense Ministry moved hundreds of fallen from dozens of temporary sites here, including 87 soldiers of the Alexandroni Brigade killed at the failed attempt to eliminate the Fallujah pocket in December 1948 and 16 Irgun fighters killed in the Altalena shelling. The military plots became an official military cemetery under the 1950 Military Cemeteries Law.

The military plots began in early 1948, when the Chevra Kadisha set aside sections of the Nachlat Itzhak civilian cemetery for fighters of the Yishuv; the military cemetery was formalized under the 1950 Military Cemeteries Law. Among the 1,154 graves are 16 Irgun fighters killed in the Altalena shelling and 87 soldiers of the Alexandroni Brigade.

The site has paths running between the rows of graves, making it easy for visitors to walk through and locate specific burials. The cemetery is well-maintained with trimmed grass, shaded areas, and benches for sitting and reflection.

The gravestones differ from most Israeli military cemeteries: in three of the four plots a single stone frame runs along an entire row of graves, with the individual headstones set on top of it. This came from the unusually dense burial of the fallen, which drew complaints at the time. The layout follows a plan by architect Asher Hiram.
