Tank

Ohad, the young tank commander we spent time with at a hilltop fort, built during by the British during a 1930s Arab uprising. He was in one of the first tanks into Lebanon and his tank was hit by an anti-tank missile, injuring his gunner.


While we were talking, his radio crackled, warning of incoming missiles.


He and his crew climbed aboard and advanced to the crest of the hill overlooking Lebanon. They were taking aim when the military closed the area and asked us to leave.
