I thought that ordinance was measured in MM. I see different color fuses and lengths of the shells. I was just curious as to what was being fired. WP, Timed fuses, Contact fuses, Air Burst. . .?

The olive drab green ones are HE. The light colored fuzes are Point Detonating (PD). The black fuzes are either mechanical time, or Variable time fuzes. The Yellow are also HE.
The light green ones are Smoke or WP, Depending on what the Israeli's have in stock.
The long ones I think (not sure) are most likely a base bleed round (RAP, rocket assisted)that gives you more range 40KM as opposed to about 18. It's still an HE.

WOW, I just noticed. They have 30 rounds there fuzed up.
We don't fuze ours until we are actually in a fire mission.
We also don't shot 30 rounds per gun for 1 mission.

We also don't shot 30 rounds per gun for 1 mission.I suspect the Israelis aren't expecting much in the way of counter-battery fire. As such, they just setup position, dig in their spades, fire and wait for new targeting info.
