That pic doesn't surprise me in the least having seen first hand how the I.D.F. roars around the Golan Heights like they own it or something! I had the crap scared out of me more than once during my rotation by a Merkava suddenly appearing from brush approaching the highway at full speed. The rules of the road don't carry as much weight when a 60 ton MBT travelling 55kph is approaching and you're in a small Nissan P.U. truck! I think they used to enjoy scaring U.N. members by appearing to be preparing to cross the highway right in front of you, then cranking a hard turn and running along the shoulder at top speed just 10 feet from your vehicle! Right of way? Lo, toda!
I believe Sean's pic is of a Merkava Mk II, so was probably taken before my trip there in 1998-1999. All I ever saw were Mk III's.



CHIMO!
