Mizpe Revivim Fortress, in kibbutz Revivim in the Negev desert, in southern Israel. The community was formed in 1943 as one of the three lookouts, and was initially named Tel HaTzofim. During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Revivim fell behind Egyptian lines for several months. Members of the kibbutz lived in underground dugouts, and received food supplies by air and convoys that ran the Egyptian battle lines.
