Located within the national cemetery on Mount Herzl Mount, this memorial honors individuals killed in acts of terrorism since 1851. The site features walls engraved with the names of both Jewish and non-Jewish victims. Travelers visit this site to reflect on the history of conflict in the region and to pay respects to those lost.
Getting There
The memorial is situated on the outskirts of the city center. Access is typically via taxi or public bus heading toward Mount Herzl. Depending on the starting point in the city and traffic conditions, the journey generally takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Visit Duration
