Question for the #OSINT community. I stumbled across a picture of #IDF #Merkava #tanks looking like #Merkava4 / #MerkavaIV with what appears to be #copecage on top of their turrets waiting near #Gaza .

I have never seen the IDF use cope-cages nor heared of it. However they seem to be mesh, so they don't serve as sun protection or something like that.
Did they start doing this recently after #Hamas used #drones to drop AT granades on to tanks? Or did they do it before? I know that in other #wars similar contraptions were fitted especially in #urbancombat situations to avoid grenades being thrown onto tanks or even inside openings like hatches which might also be a risk in #Gaza.

I would be very interested to hear from you!
