Yom Hazikaron - Memorial Day - or Israel Fallen Soldiers Remembrance Day,

It is observed on the 4th of the month of Iyar on the Hebrew calendar. It always precedes the next day's subsequent celebrations of Israel Independence Day, the Yom Haatzmaut of the 5th of Iyar for the annual holiday of the public Proclamation of the State of Israel of 1948.

It honors veterans and fallen soldiers of the State of Israel and the Israel Defense Force who died in the modern Arab Israeli conflict. The Memorial Day also commemorates fallen civilians, slain by acts of hostile terrorism.
