🇵🇸 - a REALLY Interesting find:
The instruction documents given to the field infantry of AlQassam Brigades to guide them for attacks.

Red Zones are the weakness spots of the Merkava series, where penetrative shots could achieve destruction or the killing of personnel, which can only be achieved with a PG-7VR Tandem charge, or IED's- EFP's such as Shuath, as pointed out on the document. These vital areas highlighted are:

1. The rear exit door. (Personnel and ammo depot)

2. The space between the hull and the Turret. (targets the commander, loader and gunner)

3. Beneath the cannon. (Gun breach)

4. Lower part of the side-skirt Rear (Ammunition depot)

5. Beneath the side skirt. (hits the personnel)


Green zones are the spots that would achieve the demobilization of the tank, which could be achieved with a standard PG-7V. The areas highlighted are the frontal and rear sprocket, as well as the Engine grill, which is a known weakness of the Merkava as it directly leads to the engine.
