These tanks became symbols of Israel's innovative engineering thought, and the backbone of the IDF’s armored forces both during the Cold War and modern times.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        The publication \u003cstrong\u003eTHEIR LAST PATH\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a unique insight into the last journey of these vehicles—from their transfer to a closed decommissioning facility all the way to their breakdown for scrap.
