The armed Palestinian Hamas group has released a video showing two of its members ambushing and destroying an Israeli Merkava tank at close range.
Israel has started equipping its Merkava main battle tanks with iron mesh cages on top of their turrets, called “Cope Cages,” similar to what Russian military tanks did during the conflict with Ukraine.
In the event that Israel’s Merkava armored vehicles invade the Lebanese border to hunt down Hezbollah fighters, they are likely to face the anti-tank guided missile system “Tharallah” owned by the armed group.
The Israeli military is reported to have “lost” up to 14 Merkava 4 main battle tanks when their base and military positions in southern Israel were attacked and seized by armed Palestinian groups.
After five years of development, the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the Israel Defense Force (IDF) have unveiled their newest main battle tank, “Barak,” the latest variant of the fifth-generation Merkava main battle tank, also known as “Merkava Mark 5.”
The main battle tank “Merkava” is the primary shield of the Israel Defense Forces and has been extensively used by the Israeli military in all wars involving the state of Israel since the 1980s.
