What to expect

  1. Black Arrow Memorial
    45m
    about 1 hour drive from Ashdod/1.5 hour from Tel Aviv
    The "Black Arrow" Memorial is a memorial site to the combat legacy of the paratroopers during the period of retaliatory operations, starting with Operation Kissufim on August 10, 1954 and Operation "Black Arrow" (Operation Gaza) on February 28, 1955, and ending with the Sinai War. 1956
  2. 1h
    The burned-out vehicle yard stores 1,560 vehicles that were evacuated from the roads and settlements surrounding Gaza in the weeks following the surprise attack on Simchat Torah morning, 10/7/2023. Behind each vehicle is a story about families, children, parents, adults and young people who were at the party or in the surrounding areas.
    Each story adds another part to the heroic spirit that was revealed in full force, alongside the unimaginable cruelty of that terrible event.
    You can listen to the stories during a guided tour of the site, or by scanning the codes on the information boards and reading the stories independently.
  3. 1h
    Until October 7, 2023, the Re'im parking lot was a pastoral place for hiking. A nature party (NOVA) was held there in which 364 men and women were murdered, and 40 more were kidnapped to Gaza.
    The forest and the party site have been turned into a memorial site and permanent memorial and commemoration installations have been erected there
  4. 45m
    observatory to the Gaza strip.
    The hill on which the observatory is located reaches a height of 110 meters above sea level and was known for years as "Kobi Hill", and due to its line of sight to the Gaza Strip, it becomes a very popular reporting point for journalists and the curious during periods of clashes within the framework of the Israel-Gaza Strip conflict. The observatory is home to the "Monument of the Four".
  5. 45m
    The Sderot police station became, to its detriment, one of the most prominent symbols of the events of October 7.
    The station was attacked by terrorists and lost 8 of its men (two additional police officers were killed during the fighting at the station), until the district commander decided on Saturday night to demolish the station building, inside which 26 terrorists had barricaded themselves.
