Giv'at Halfon Eina Ona (Hebrew: גבעת חלפון אינה עונה, lit. 'Halfon Hill Doesn't Answer'), also titled Giv'at Halfon, is a cult Israeli comedy film released on September 27, 1976. It is a good-hearted satire of the Israel Defense Forces, which tells the story of a reserve company guarding the Egyptian border at the Sinai Peninsula. While initially received negatively by critics, it has since become one of the most influential Israeli films in the history of Israeli cinema.
The name of the film is a parody of the name of the Israeli patriotic film Giv'a 24 Eina Ona (Hill 24 Doesn't Answer).
The film was directed and co-written by Assi Dayan and stars members of HaGashash HaHiver: Shaike Levi, Yisrael Poliakov, and Gavri Banai.
