Terrorist organizations in the Middle East challenge Israel’s existence on a constant basis with bombs, rockets, and underground warfare. The IDF is using the latest technology to combat those who seek to harm Israeli civilians or sovereignty. One of the crucial aspect of creating this technology is ensuring that it is both safe and powerful.

In order to combat enemy forces, combat engineering soldiers use unique armored personnel carriers (APCs). Previously, IDF soldiers used the Puma, a combat engineering vehicle and APC. However, in 2016, the IDF got the advanced Nemera armored vehicle, which significantly expanded the army's operational capabilities.

The 603rd Battalion has been training with the machine and works on fully comprehending everything it’s capable of doing. Lieutenant Koren, the Company’s Deputy Commander in the Battalion said, "We know how important what we’re doing is and so we make sure we train constantly. We prepare for the second we receive an order and need to carry it out in the best possible way.”

The Nemera armored vehicle protects soldiers, while transporting them through complex and dangerous places. “We know where the enemy will hide their weapons and even place rocket launchers. Additionally, our soldiers are experts in underground warfare and we have the means to defeat Israel’s enemies and dismantle the terror tunnels,” Lt. Koren emphasized.
