In recent days, the IDF has significantly increased its use of explosive-laden armored personnel carriers (APCs), that are composed of older M113 models rigged with explosives, which can also be operated remotely, as part of preparations for a ground maneuver in the heart of Gaza City.

At the onset of the genocide, the IDF’s Technological and Logistics Directorate developed a method to repurpose these APCs into offensive weapons. They are loaded with large quantities of explosives and then transported into the Gaza Strip and detonated remotely.

More recently, reports have surfaced regarding the development of explosive barrels that can be dropped by the APCs along streets lined with mines, amplifying their destructive impact. The force of these explosions is so intense that they can be heard over 100km. away from the Gaza Strip.

    Those APCs cost 300k-1 mil each. Why are they using them like disposable trash? Shouldnt the military be using cybertrucks as terrorist bomb delivery mechanisms instead? Those were bought specifically to be blown up, although I suppose Elons technology might break down on the way to the terrorism.

    The state terrorism and indiscriminate mass murder is one thing, the IDF treating our US taxpayer funded equipment like toilet paper is another!

    /s?
    I dont even know anymore.

      They are constantly throwing 2000 pound bombs on tents. A whole F35 sortie and JDAM to blow up a tent with a family.

      Israel knows one way of doing warfare: exploding US taxpayer dolllars.
