The Secret Missile Launcher Disguised as a Tank - Pereh

In 1985, at the height of the Israeli–Lebanese conflict, a small group of Lebanese tanks swiftly advanced into Israeli territory to strike a crucial enemy post. It was a straightforward operation in which the target’s position was only defended by infantry troops and two Israeli Magach tanks.
