In 2012, the Israeli government approved the establishment of the National Memorial Hall at a cost of $40 million.

They say that there is no mention in the hall of the names of those victims, although the Hall is planned to be built next to the main memorial to Israeli terror victims.
The Memorial Hall opened on 30 April 2017.
In the center of the hall is the eternal flame dedicated to the unknown soldiers of Israel. This means at least one unidentified set of remains is buried there so that the families of soldiers whose bodies were never brought back can go there, imagine it is their dead relative, and mourn.
