Snip:
In a “security incident” in Jabalia, a city in northern Gaza, on Sunday, the Israeli regime lost another Merkava 4 tank with three crew members, a much-hyped military vehicle that has been experiencing heavy losses for the past two years in the besieged Palestinian territory.
Israeli media reported that three of the regime’s soldiers were killed while operating a Merkava 4 tank, the flagship of the regime’s offensive capabilities, in a complex resistance operation.
The slain soldiers were identified as Sgt. Shoham Menahem, 21, from Yardena; Sgt. Shlomo Yakir Shrem, 20, from Efrat; and Sgt. Yuliy Faktor, 19, from Rishon Lezion.
The Israeli army still doesn’t know whether the tank was hit by an anti-tank missile or struck by an explosive device planted underneath — which demonstrates the increasing complexity of operations carried out by Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas resistance movement.

Even the US lacks such buffoonery. It can take half a decade to make sergeant in the Marines. Even in the Army, it takes a minimum of 3 years. All this under the assumption positions are open and you meet the requirements.
Isreal is making the classic mistake of getting high off their own supply of propaganda, then taking actions based on the things they made up.
It’s gotta suck so bad to be made a tanker in the IOF. They’re extremely visible and high value targets that are incredibly vulnerable because they’re given zero infantry support.
The whole doctrine of armor in war is to be a hard support platform for your infantry and for the infantry to be a screen for the tank and a soft target for the enemy to engage and reveal their position. These guys just send the tanks out to wander the streets looking for civilians while hoping someone doesn’t pop out of a tunnel somewhere and mulch the crew with an RPG or crock pot bomb.
Most advanced tank produced by a country
Can’t even fight against the civilian population it was designed to terrorize in that same country
More proof Isn’trealis don’t belong there and need to take their asses back to Europe.
