The monument is located between the Nahal Oz outpost and the settlements around Gaza, the cities of Sderot and Netivot, and is intended to illustrate the vital role of the female observers in protecting the borders of the State of Israel.
[1] The monument was established at the initiative of the "Fields Instead of Fences" (שדות במקום גדרות) organization, the parents of the observers, and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in collaboration with volunteers, donors, and students from Sapir College in Sderot.
The goal of the trail is to attract visitors to the area and connect the general public to the legacy of the combat of the warriors who defended the homeland in the Iron Swords War.
[1][2] The site serves as historical testimony to the work of the female observers and their contribution to the security of the state, and emphasizes the importance of their role in Israel's defense.
Placing the photos on the stones allows visitors to personally connect with the story of the female observers and remember the sacrifice they made in defense of the country.
