Israeli Military Forgot At Least 5 Merkava Battle Tanks At Golan Heights (Video)

Hikers in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights found at least 5 armed and unguarded Merkava Mk. IV battle tanks. Doors of the battle tanks were open with equipment and munitions left completely unguarded inside.

“This is an exceptional and serious malfunction that does not meet the standard expected by the IDF,” the Israeli Defense Forces said in response to the incident.

“The issue will be investigated immediately by the commanders and will be presented up to the level of the regional commander. Lessons will be learned and those responsible will be prosecuted and severely punished. After the incident, security around the vehicles was tightened and procedures were sharpened for all soldiers and commanders.”

The video was published online amid the growing tensions between Hezbollah and the Israeli Defense Forces in both the Golan Heights area and the Israeli-Lebanese contact line. So, if Israeli sources do not know how to explain this failure, they can easily blame Hezbollah.

6 Merkava tanks ……. Jesus thats almost equivilant to one T14

Zionism = EVIL

Pisrael is a pathetic joke propped up by western dumbass cunts and Hollywood myths, the child killer IDF is full of faggots and perverts as Hezbollah has repeatedly exposed, in a real war these LGBTQ cunts would run home crying and that is why they are shit scared of Hezbollah that can fight back.

Fog of War

” Pisrael is a pathetic joke propped up by western dumbass cunts and Hollywood myths ”

Then put it out of its misery ? Why is everyone afraid of this ” joke ” ?

Joaquin

It’s not the joke itself that is scary, but it’s bodyguards aka NATO

Fog of War

But everyone here thinks NATO is a joke also, as is collapsing ZioAmerica and Impotent EU. All these ” jokes ” are keeping the world on edge ? Someone’s wrong here I think.

Joaquin

I personally don’t take NATO as a joke, I think it’s time is not over yet, maybe in a future not so distant, but possibly has a couple of cards under it’s sleeve still

Joaquin

A think it won’t give up without making a last stand in other words.

tzatz

lol

There is something wrong here … YOU’RE listening to a bunch of imbeciles … hello?

tzatz

Afraid of NATO ? ?

Joaquin

NATO has the power and morally what it takes to depose a government, destroy a society, wreck a country to pieces, starve people by the millions. If that’s your enemy you have to at least aknowledge this, take it seriously and act accordingly

Pork

There is no fear, trust me. We are humane. The difference in our fight style should tell you this. One side uses the destruction of civilian infrastructure and cleansing ethnically in fashion and forms only evil genius can think up.
We’ve boxed them up before and allowed them back into society with parameters and they’ve succeeded. ..it’ll happen again and will be by force, just not the type of force you’re dreaming up.

Wow … really?

Russia always phased out? Aww … is that Israel’s fault? lol

In 1948, there was no armed to the teeth going on … the Arab States had real armies … the Jews had 650,000 PEOPLE IN TOTAL and still managed to defeat the Arab/Muslims

Sure … they waited until 1967 to complete the deal … but they did and still control the lands from the River to the Sea … eh?

1% of the Jews died defending their state … in 1948

That’s as if:

That sacrifice is at the heart of the battle with the Arab/Muslims … eh?

Israel is a small bully hiding behind the west. The US is its protector, you should pay more attention to global realities. On its own its military is inept and engaged in suppression of unarmed Palestinians and will not be able to sustain a conflict which will spread regionally. However, with the main bully US in trouble now, Israel’s future is far from certain, unless they stop their racist expansionism.

Concrete Mike

This joke is armed with nuclear weapons.
This joke has no problem using these nukes against ANY civilians. Beirut and 9 11 are excellent examples.

These psychos would not have a problem killing 10 million civilians, in a day. One must tread carefully with them. I say give em just enough rope so they hang themselves.

No if you give them enough rope is you they be hanging not themselves. What they need is a rain of fire. As for using nuclear weapons despite what you like to believe so you have an argument no nuclear weapons been used in either case you mentioning.

Israel is a petty thug hiding behind the real evil, the US which itself is now facing KARMA is spades!

Zaphod Braden

I am offended when I see the “Star of DEATH””.
Judaism is neither a race or a religion, it is Xenophobic Tribalism.
XENOPHOBIC: n.A person unduly fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or foreign peoples.
TRIBALISM: n.
1. The organization, culture, or beliefs of a tribe.
2. A strong feeling of identity with and loyalty to one’s tribe or group.
For 3,500 years Israel has practiced eugenics …. Jewishness is based on: Jewish mother determines that you are Jewish …. Jewish father determines the Tribe (cohen, levite, dan, benjamin) They are a TRIBE …. a family based GANG. If you are not an active member you are NOT part of the GANG. No more than having a cousin in the Hell’s Angels makes YOU a Hell’s Angel.
ALL people of Good Will should oppose the ORIGINAL “nazis”.
The most Genocidal Monsters in history:
Jews BRAG about the murder of Egypt’s first born and celebrate every year at PASSOVER.
Jews BRAG about the genocide of 75,000 Persians and celebrate it every year at PURIM.
Never FORGET, Never FORGIVE, the SHOAH of 1.5MILLION Armenian Christians under the crypto-Jewish “Young Turks” “necessary for the Rothschilds’ Baku Oil. The Armenian Christians’ financial and intellectual prominence was not “good for business.”” Armenians had lived in peace thousands of years, until Jewish money wanted them out.
Never FORGET, Never FORGIVE, the SHOAH of 66MILLION Christians under the Jewish Bolsheviks
Never FORGET, Never FORGIVE, KATYN FOREST & the Ukrainian HOLODOMOR where the Jewish Bolsheviks slaughtered the Educated Elite CHRISTIAN Leaders. Teach about Bela Kun and his Jewish comrades who committed the Red Terror in 1918 Hungary. http://www.jrbooksonline.com/some_pics_from_cecile_tormay.htm
Never FORGET, Never FORGIVE, the ongoing SHOAH of the PALESTINIANS.
The sight of the “STAR of DEATH” sends a frightening and offensive message to ALL NON-Jews.

They must perish in the revolutionary holocaust.” -Karl Marx, Marx People’s Paper, April 16, 1856, Journal of the History of Idea, 1981 ………….. “RACISL HOLOCAUST” advocated by a JEW against NON-Jews years before Hitler was even born ………
Israel does not have a ‘right to exist”, because Israel is born of genocide and war crimes that ISRAEL brags about. To recognize their false claim today is to validate crimes against humanity
The “STAR of DEATH” represents the ORIGINAL “Nazis”, the perpetrators and braggarts of the Humanity’s first SHOAH: FUNNY that everything they claim the nazis did is an EXACT COPY of what they brag about doing to the ORIGINAL Palestinians.

Zionism = EVIL

SAA lost Golan primarily because the cunt Sadat backstabbed Syria, and had cut a deal with the ugly repulsive Jew arsewipe Kissinger and stopped the Egyptian advance in the Sinai.

johnny rotten

Not only that, the real betrayal was the Egyptian one, they are still paid now, then came Camp David and the Begin-Sadat accord.

Zionism = EVIL

The cunt Sadat sold out Syria for mere $3 billion annual begging bowl.

Cromwell

He didn’t live to spend it.

Icarus Tanović

Al Sadat is coward and bitch. That is why he was assassinated.

Ashok Varma

Sadat sold Egypt and the consequences are there to see.

Pork

Not only that. Egypt, in its agreement with israel, forced by us, the US, was made to abandon its agricultural and scientific aspirations in turn for that 3 billion. That was the true betrayal. Egypt had the ability to feed all of Africa and every Arab nation with its AG.
Evil genius yid monster Kissinger, once said, ‘…control the food…’, and you get what we have today, chaos.

Kissinger caused a lot of problems world wide and the miscreant is still alive how can this be he must be 100 if he’s a day. Has he sold his soul to the Devil or maybe he is the Devil?

Zionism = EVIL

They are just PUNKS.

guest

IDF is not a professional military but made up of conscripts who have been dehumanized into brutalizing unarmed Palestinian civilians and have yet to face a real armed foe, like Hezbollah. The IDF weakness is masked by their bluff and bluster. In the next conflict they will fare very poorly and they are petrified,

Selbstdenker

In a next conflict with Israel I assume that US military will not be able to help them out again.

Not that we asked for it, just need more ammunitions.

200,000 DEAD Lebanese in the first 48 hrs

Lebanon destroyed ….

El Mashi

The Lebanese Hezbollah can defend themselves with long range missiles. They have thousands. Syria too can defend themselves. Muslims and Christians will not be the only ones who die. They are prepared and motivated. IDF is demoralized, and its battle experience are snipers killing women and children. That is hardly battle experience. Shalom.

Maybe Iron Zion left the keys in one of these.

Icarus Tanović

That could be the cause.

<>

I don’t knoiw how it’s possible so I don’t comment on something I have no facts about. 5 tanks means 20 IDF soldiers, I can’t believe 20 guys just disappeared like that. Something went really wrong here.

Lone Ranger

Im only guessing now but it could be a botched false flag, these tanks could have been designated to be hit, but were found by civs before it could happen.
But like I said thats only a wild guess from my part.
It simply could be that they locked the tanks and went for a cold beer.

<>

Too weird Ranger, during my trainings with the tank crews they were always near the tank or even sleeping in it. I can’t explain it.

Selbstdenker

Makes sense. The tank crews I know never thought of walking away by foot. They always got transported. So if tanks are left unattended, they are to be secured, and hatches and doors closed. A really curious case though

<>

Yup, unless those 20 soldiers defected from the army altogether, I have no other explanation for it. They could have atleast locked the doors if they planned to leave, but didn’t even do that. I pray for them they have a good excuse, otherwise they are sent to years in prison. Overall, I’m impressed with the civilians that found it.

El Mashi

Demoralized. Israelis who don’t want to play the Nazi role, perhaps.

Rafik Chauhan

May they heard Rumours that hezbollah going to attack. so they Ran away putting tails between thier legs . and when they knew it was just a rumor they are trying to use excuse of that they all wanted to shit same time in one toilet or May be they made excuse that they saw one zionist women they all ran to jump on top of her.

WOOPS!
Russian TV reporter walks around deserted IDF post hit by Hezbollah missiles. Sept 2019

Pave Way IV

Shows capable intelligence apparatus of Hez. The ‘deserted’ IDF post was obviously bait for them and they didn’t bite. No army, especially the IDF, is going to ‘accidentally’ desert a post like this. It was intentional, along with everything else the IDF does. Love or hate Israel, it’s sure as hell not Zimbabwe.

Not a bad plan for the IDF, I guess. If Hez did take over this post, then Israel would just snoop in on them for a day or two – the entire place has to be bugged. Tanks guns are not operable and all the ammo is sabotaged to kill anyone stupid enough to use it, so ‘armed’ is a bit misleading. If Hez tried to haul the tanks or anything else valable away, then the IDF artillery would just level their pre-bracketed target and destroy everything. Place is probably wired with explosives, too. Hez obviously knew, i.e., were ordered by Hez commanders to stay away.

Bonus: the IDF could screech in the MSM how Hez ‘overran’ their innocent post and slaughtered ‘dozens’ of Israeli soldiers for no reason. Casus belli to attack south Lebanon. Maybe grab the Litani River while they’re at it. All this after a few days of extensive Israeli coverage of the smoking ruins of the post with many well-staged IDF victims of the horrific, unprovoked Hezbollah slaughter of Israeli soldiers. Then some flag-draped caskets paraded in front of a weepy Netanyahu vowing to avenge their death. CNN would spend a week interview the grieving young widows hugging her confused-looking ‘children’, with another one on the way.

I honestly don’t know a damn thing about the IDF schemes, but this is right out of the U.S. psyops playbook, including a shocking report of the deserted post by a credible-sounding news agency. See how incompetent they are, Hez? You should attack them NOW! Oh, and reportes miraculously DON’T get shot in the knees by IDF and the ‘forgotten’ vehicles quickly removed and post stripped immediately after the reporters leave, but before the report comes out.

PZIVJ

Have not heard from you for quite some time.
I recall IDF parked a vehicle nearby with a manequin soldier inside.
Hezbollah knew they where being baited.

I don’t know, I have never seen anything like that. Someone will be punished very hard, perhaps it has some kind of criminal activity too (soldiers that wanted to sell weapons to criminals for money). Either way, they are going to jail for a long time.

jm74

Simple explanation; Hezbollah must have made an appearance.

abuqahwa

Can anyone ID the equipment(s) panels, orange tanks and abandoned pallet filmed from rear entry? Sure looks like abandoned, insecure set-up ??

PZIVJ

The orange ‘tanks’ appear to be the rear ammunition storage bin.
The rear hatch allows for faster resupply of ammo (less downtime).

abuqahwa

Further forward interior looks looted or abandoned – equipment damaged or removed, what appears to be spares/barrels for M2 12,7 mm secondary MG? As for rear hatch I have always thought this is an excellent design – two MBT or ambulance back-to-back allow protected entry or egress – the Merkava can thus deliver or pick up 6 troops on the battlefield : “It also creates more space in the rear of the tank that allows increased
storage capacity and a rear entrance to the main crew compartment
allowing easy access under enemy fire. This allows the tank to be used
as a platform for medical disembarkation, a forward command and control
station, and ammo resup.The rear entrance’s-style doors provide overhead protection when off- and on-loading cargo and personnel.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkava

goingbrokes

I have a feeling this indicates a low morale in tank crews of IDF who are facing Hezb. It is understandable, if hostilities break out their lives are counted in hours, or even minutes. They don’t want to be the fodder for the oligarchs who sip their bubbly in T-A. While it is against all military code and patriotic sentiment I somehow understand these guys. The war they are facing is totally mindless. They know that personally they will not win anything. They’d be the victims of decades of bad policy by insane leaders, who are some of the worst in the world.

Assad must stay

hahaha hah wow they must have seen something truly terrifying to run and not even think of getting back in the tanks hahhahhaha

The Farney Fontenoy

IDF runs at the first sign of trouble, even during the wars, once an Israeli jet was targeted, the pilots immediately bailed out even before a missile was fired, they didn’t even attempt evasive action.
Truly Israelis are the coward’s coward.

AM Hants

Lol, how do you forget your tank?
