Isn't General Dayan the guy who lost an eye because a sniper shot his binocs?
Very lucky guy to survive that if he's who I'm thinking of.

General Moshe Dayan, November 24, 1967, in Israel.

Yom Kippur war of 1973: M4A3E8 Shermans modified by the Israelis, major changes include a 105mm gun and large counterweight at the turret rear.
The "Easy Eight" was still providing good service in 1973.
