Produced by a tourist to the site, this video (01:23) presents the view from the Assaf Siboni lookout point, located near Kibbutz Nir Am, which provides an excellent vantage point over the southern coastal plain, the Nir Am water reservoir, and the Gaza Strip, especially Jabalia and Gaza City. The lookout point serves as a memorial to Assaf Siboni, a member of Kibbutz Nir Am and one of 73 IDF soldiers killed in the 1997 Helicopter Disaster, when two IDF helicopters collided on their way to southern Lebanon. The memorial features a giant wind chime with twenty flutes, each representing a year in Siboni’s life. For more information, visit the KKL-JNF website.
