Nope, you are wrong. Sorry

Don't be an ***!! do you think that God that made all of us jews, hindus and muslims etc would then write in his book to hate men just for their creed or religion, are you nuts, why are you idiots denigrating and blaspheming God and Islam. You lot are racists and hatemongers as bad as the ffing TTP. No where in Islam is there any acceptance for Muslims to behave like you guys, no one is allowed to hate people. To say so is an outright lie.

Really enjoyed all the photos, sent me back few years back.

i must say to all of the haters, really? some of you just live far away, don't know shit about what you're talking about, just hate and judge without really knowing the truth.

i've been there, i saw how Palestinian soldiers holding children and using them as an armor while they're shooting at us. this is something to be ashamed of. in fact most of the Palestinians suffer from their own government, another sad fact, hate for no reason. instead of trying to live in peace radical people on both sides just ruining it.

i am jewish, born and raised in israel, my father took part in the war of 1967 and 1973, i've been in Lebanon, Israel never declare war, we do have the right to protect ourselves when we are being bombed and attacked. the reality is very sad. and it's all driven by haters.

i grew up in a mixed city, been raised in a very open minded family, i think that people need to separate religion from ethnicity and nationality, there is Arab Jews like there is Israeli Muslims.
i had a christian Lebanese girlfriend for a year, a lovely woman.
i've been living with my Muslim Iranian woman for more than 3 years in harmony.
i don't judge people by their religion i judge them by their self being.
living with hate and resentment will never bring peace and harmony, we are all people and we are so alike, Israelis and Arabs are eating the same food, listening to the same music and really look alike.
so i just wish for peace, i live in peace in the US, surrounded by dear people from all kinds who love me and there for me because of who i am.

best of luck and to all, and please keep on the good work with the photos.

Interesting to see the AK being used for "over the beach" missions/training when the Tavor is marketed as having such capabilities.

Also @500 I thought the TAR-21/CTAR was set to become the standard-issue AR for the entire IDF/infantry whilst the X-95/MTAR would be used for certain specialist units but it seems the entire IDF is switching to the X-95/MTAR and not the TAR-21, could you shed any light on why exactly this is?

AK is being used for "behind enemy lines" missions/training, by 13th flotilla and other units that may be sent behind enemy lines, not necessarily over the beach. Unlike M4/M16/Tavor/Micro-Tavor, it sounds exactly like enemies' AK and obviously has the same cartridges...

While the initial plan was to issue the TAR-21/CTAR for all IDF infantry, three years ago the MTAR/X-95 was preferred over the existing Tavors and the plan was changed accordingly. Micro-Tavors are being gradually issued to infantry brigades, and the Tavors are being withdrawn from active units to reserve units (except some Tavors with longer barrels, for under-barrel grenade launchers).

S13 (Israeli seals) started using AKs decades before Tavor. This photo is old.

They are switching to Micro Tavor now:

But probably AK will be still used in some missions.

Yes X-95 is going to be a standard IDF rifle.

X-95 is lighter, shorter, less bulky, has shorter and lighter trigger pull, better mag release. I dont like its too short barrel (13 in) though. Cant understand this recent IDF fixation on shortness.

Indeed, I thought the original plan (wherein the TAR-21 would be the standard-issue AR for the IDF with the X-95/MTAR being for SOF units) made much more sense.

Yeah that's what I thought. Thanks for the info.

X-95 can come with long barrel too:

This model has 16.5'' barrel and its still very compact - 670 mm.
Folded M4 with 14.5'' barrel is 756 mm.

I understand why they chose X-95 over TAR, but why they chose 13'' model as standard is beyond my understanding.
