"It was a small hit; we thought they were only mortar shells," recalled Sec.-Lt. Yotam. His Merkava 4 tank had been directly hit by two anti-tank missiles. The four crew members evacuated to another tank, unscathed.

Their tank was dragged back to the Israeli side of the border, south of Metulla, and technical crews clambered over it, astonished at the way it had withstood the attack.

ähem..wenn die Crew evakuiert werden musste und der Tank nicht mehr in der Lage war sich aus eigener Kraft fortzubegegen, dann war das ein mission kill und für den Panzer heisst das game over.
