Armored Car
This armored car served with the 34th battalion
of the 3rd "Alexandroni" brigade during the War of Independence.
It was used in the battles at Tantura, Kakoon, Kfar Saba, Rosh Haayin,
Camp 22 near Beit Lid, Igzim, and Jabba. Armored cars like this
supported the infantry.

Improvised armoured cars and trucks were used extensively prior to
and during the War of Independence. Most early Israeli models had
firing ports or hatches but few had turrets or permanent weapons (limitations
imposed by British restrictions). Arab models, and some later Israeli
models, had turrets. |
