October 9, 2011. Pita (a circular form simulating an enemy installation, see 1) for military maneuvers in a closed military live-fire training zone. Three kilometers to the east is Kibbutz Revivim (lit., “rain showers”), founded in 1943 with help from the UK government and young European immigrants as one of three lookouts built on land owned by the JNF, with the goal of securing the land and assessing its feasibility for agriculture. The residents of the lookouts made extensive geophysical surveys and conducted agricultural experiments for this purpose. These points would be the basis for further Jewish settlement in the Negev. Initially named Tel HaTzofim (lit., “scout’s hill”), it would be the home of Golda Meir, the former Prime Minister of Israel, later in life.
