Memorial Site for the Fallen of Operation Iron Swords

the Memorial Site for the Fallen of Operation Iron Swords in Rishon Lezion City.

The structure will feature an arched steel design with an impressive 25-meter span, floating and reflecting over the lake – a powerful symbol of remembrance and life.

The memorial was designed by the Israeli-Jewish architect from Miami, Peter Bilbstein, and will be the first of its kind in Israel – a unique project both in terms of its scale and innovative design.
It will not only commemorate the past but also celebrate the present and inspire the future: a living space, a hub for learning, school tours, and a welcoming place for anyone wishing to pay their respects.

Surrounding the memorial, there will be seating areas, green lawns, and even a playground – blending remembrance with the laughter of children, reminding us that there is always hope.
