Israel is suffering its heaviest tank losses in over 40 years in southern Lebanon.
On March 26 alone, Hezbollah destroyed 21 Merkava tanks in a single day. The total since March 2 now stands at approximately 73, with reports suggesting the number is approaching 100.
The decisive engagement took place on the Taybeh–Qantara axis, where Hezbollah lured an Israeli armored column into a prepared kill zone. When the column entered the ambush, guided missiles destroyed 4 tanks and a D9 bulldozer in the lead element. When the rear element deployed smoke cover, it was immediately struck and 4 more tanks were destroyed. Israeli soldiers abandoned surviving vehicles and withdrew on foot.
Hezbollah has also now deployed its elite Radwan special forces which analysts say is a primary factor behind the escalating losses.
Each Merkava costs approximately $6 MILLION. The guided missiles used to destroy them cost a fraction of that.
