History and Use of the MAGACH 7C Gimel

The MAGACH 7C is an advanced version of the Israeli modification of the American M60 Patton tank. In Israel, tanks from this family underwent extensive modernization, resulting in versions such as 7A, 7B, and 7C. The Gimel version (representing the letter "G" in the Hebrew alphabet) featured increased crew protection thanks to modern appliqué armor packages and reinforced mechanical systems. The tank was used operationally from the 1990s to the early 21st century, primarily for border security and as reinforcement for armored units in Middle Eastern conflict zones.
