Palestinian militant groups have shared a video on social media claiming to show an Israeli Merkava Mk4 tank being hit, one of the best tanks in the world. The footage was released by the Telegram channel “Military Observer.” The militants, belonging to the radical Hamas movement, employed a tactic of dropping mines from unmanned aerial vehicles. It is reported that the tank was attempting to repel an incursion by the militants.
The Merkava Mk4 tank was introduced into the Israeli army in 2004. It is equipped with an upgraded active protection system called Trophy, capable of eliminating incoming tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades. This tank was considered invincible in Israel.
The Israeli army reported the infiltration of Palestinian militants into the country and declared the start of the “Operation Iron Swords” counter-terrorism operation. Since the morning of October 7, Israeli territory has been under attack, prompting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to travel to Tel Aviv, where all events have been canceled due to the ongoing situation. The country’s Defense Minister, Yoav Galant, stated that Hamas has declared war on Israel and has called up reservists. More details can be found in the article by “Gazeta.Ru.”
Earlier, it was revealed how Egypt and Syria nearly destroyed Israel on Judgment Day.
