Galagalit military post, Military outpost in the eastern security zone, Lebanon

Galagalit military post (formerly Givon post) stood on the outskirts of Deir Mimas, above the bend of the Litani River, northwest of Kila and east of Yochmor and Deir Sareen. It was a platoon-sized outpost, typically held by a platoon from a training company rather than a veteran company, reinforced by a tank from an operational company, an intelligence team, an electronic warfare team, a tracker, and a combat engineering NCO who managed fortification work.

The outpost, first called Givon and later Galgalit, guarded the road linking Narkis on the border with the Beaufort and Dlaat posts. In July 1994 an officer, Lt. Shai Wallenstein, was killed there by a Sagger missile. On 31 January 2000 Hezbollah rockets hit the observation post, killing Maj. Tadhar Tempelhof and Sgts. Tzachi Malka Greenberg and Lior Niv. It was abandoned and blown up on 24 May 2000.

The post was named Galagalit but was originally called Givon. It sat above the bend of the Litani River, near the village of Deir Mimas, and had no South Lebanese Army post nearby, so its garrison of a platoon from a training company, with a tank and intelligence and electronic-warfare teams, held the road alone.

The site is not freely accessible and requires special permissions and security protocols from relevant authorities. Travelers should check beforehand what conditions are needed for any visit.

The post was blown up on 24 May 2000, after the South Lebanon Army collapsed and Israel withdrew from the security zone. Its Hebrew name was changed from Givon to Galgalit. The site stood near the bend of the Litani, above Deir Mimas.
