M109 Paladin 155mm selpf propelled gun?
Israel will not be sending those into Gaza. They are long range support. They would be death traps in a city.

They could have the Paladin’s in a traditional supporting role, not in the urban environment.

no that had the Ramatten live feed online(the one they show on air now sometimes) but for some reason it disappeared and was replaced with another live feed not related to the comflict. It was a live feed it was dark and not much was happening ..then you could see crude Hamas rockets flying out and they would follow them with the camreas(a few minutes later news reports siad rockets hit Israel)

I’m not sure why they would cut the live online feed off at this point

Someone in the know, please advise what rifle cartridge the typical Israeli soldier is carrying on this assault? 5.56x45mm? Any 7.62x51mm? etc. Any new military calibers?

And what platforms? Is the Galil still in service? Any M-16/M-4? Any bullpups like the Tavor in service yet?
