November 23. On Sunday (22nd) local time, a Merkava tank of the Israeli Ministry of Defense overturned during a routine exercise. Fortunately, no one was injured.

According to a report by the Middle East media Al-Masdar News, during the exercise on the 22nd, the Israeli Defense Ministry tank suddenly accelerated after driving on a trailer, and then capsized to the ground with the chassis upturned.

The Israeli Defense Forces later stated that no one was injured in the accident and the 24-year-old tank driver had been sent to a Jerusalem hospital for examination.

At present, the Israeli military has been involved in the investigation, and it is preliminarily speculated that it is caused by a malfunction of the tank fire control system.
