Analysis of Israeli Tank in Lebanon

All right, and to our right, the tank driving Lebanon crazy, King

of the Lions. Tell us, what can be said about this tank?

Let's look at this footage, it has really kept the Lebanese busy over the past

24 hours. A Merkava Mark IV tank, this was filmed in Zawtar

al-Sharqiya. We can see the flashing lights.

They're trying to figure out in Lebanon, as are commentators in the Arab world, what exactly this is.

Is this a new system for intercepting drones? Is it

a laser? Yair, you have—

Listen, this is really intriguing.

You have, uh, great affection for the Armored Corps, right?

Absolutely. Listen—

So we'll only say what security officials permit.

Here we see a King of the Lions tank. This is a tank that until recently was considered

classified. Over the past year, it has been cleared to report that there are

tanks of this type, King of the Lions. It has special capabilities

to detect the enemy even at a distance, and these lights that we

see are not something you are supposed to see with the naked eye.

There are also issues here of exposure, filming,

and various angles. We cannot elaborate on exactly what

The system, but ultimately it's a regular tank, and let me say one more thing,

Ultimately, this tank, as you see it here, is positioned in a bad spot.

It's exposed to the enemy, it's being filmed from Lebanon. Our tanks are supposed to be either

behind a berm or concealed, but

ultimately, it's a tank, uh—

Has the IDF made any statement about the fact that the tank is positioned there specifically, as

you point out, not exactly a place where it...

I hope that after we published this footage, the commander of

the force will say, "Guys, stay in rear positions."

You know these terms just as well as I do, if not better.

The armored corps officer in you is showing.
