What were the case, the Israeli army actually maintained a large fleet of armored personnel capable

Before the decade of 1980, the Armata potential of Israel consisted of military equipment in Europe and America, as well as by Soviet tanks, loot from enemies neighbors.
In mid-1970, began the construction of the domestic average main battle tank (MBT), which showed the excellent range Merkava tanks which was to become indiapost one of the best series of tanks in the world.

With so many old tanks Mk I in the arsenal of Israel, was a study in order to modify the boat floats in order to fulfill the need of a new domestic production Armored Combat Vehicle (IFV), designed specifically to meet the requirements of the Israeli army - a requirement that many foreign IFV not met.
What were the case, the Israeli army actually maintained a large fleet of armored personnel capable -Some vehicles modified and other special design indiapost systems of foreign origin - in the arsenal of including the American series M133.
Militants hurled indiapost missiles at cities Negev and Sderot, Israel responded with air strikes that paved the way for ground attack that would destroy enemy sanctuaries and strongholds. Israeli armored taken by businesses in various missions, which have been mixed results as Hamas fighters were equipped with machine guns, advanced explosive devices (IED), splash grenades, machine guns and mortars support combined with guerrilla methods adopted, Grab Israeli tanks unprepared.
The conflict was an endurance test for the aging M113, as proved extremely vulnerable to all types of attacks with explosives, forcing the IDF to seek long-term solutions.
The M113 was a famous armored personnel carrier with 80,000 units have been built, but technological limitations -the origin of starts back in 1950. In 2004 the business area was a very different place from what it was originally designed to attempts against the Vietnam War with the US Army.
To everything previous was operational missions support infantry and armor were relevant depending on the mission -Some were even anti-tank efficiencies-but these versions have large-caliber guns, with limited seats for transporting infantry men.
Generally APC were designed to carry and disembark infantry, protected from enemy fire, therefore, could not carry more troops but was less armored and armor were for supporting roles.
In 2006 Israel entangled in another regional conflict, this time against neighboring indiapost Lebanon during July and Avgoustou.Oi businesses indiapost lasting one months against Hezbollah was large, even once caused indiapost a wave of attacks with missiles from the side of Hezbollah.
Once again the Israeli army was involved in business and the need for a capable TDMA was obvious until the UN intervened to ceasefire signed between the two sides.
The evolution and evaluation of the new Israeli TDMA continued normally, which, until this point, the design was getting on board the new main battle tank battle Merkava Mk IV.
A prototype was delivered for evaluation in March 2008. The system finally chosen the same year, and entered the service in the forefront of the Israeli army called Nemmera which when translated from Israeli, becomes the feminine "Leopard."
The engine chosen is the twelve-American construction, diesel powered, air-cooled, turbocharged engine of 1200 horse series Teledyne Continental AVDS-1790-9AR.
If the construction program implemented as designed, ultimately will be built about 800 units, which will replace the outdated APC that is in service at IDF, so there will be standardization and organization in the arsenal of Israel.
The reinforcement of RCWS will be upgraded after several years of operational use -Upgrading large enough to cover the ever increasing range of demands of the army of Israel, against a particular opponent and business environment (mostly urban)
