This tank, which entered service in 1983 in the 7th Armored Brigade, is of the generation following that of the Merkava Mk. 1. The combat experiences and lessons gleaned from Operation Peace for Galilee were implemented in its development. Many improvements were made in the Mk. 2, including upgraded armor and side skirts, an up-to-date transmission, an advanced fire control system, a 60 mm mortar operated from within the tank and more. The Mk. 2 took part in Operations Defensive Shield, Cast Lead and Protective Edge, as well in the Second Lebanon War.
