The IDF’s Southern Command has tripled the use of armored personnel carriers (APCs) during ground maneuvers, but in a new and explosive way.

In recent days, the IDF has significantly increased its use of explosive-laden armored personnel carriers (APCs), that are composed of older M113 models rigged with explosives, which can also be operated remotely, as part of preparations for a ground maneuver in the heart of Gaza City.

At the onset of the War, the IDF’s Technological and Logistics Directorate developed a method to repurpose these APCs into offensive weapons. They are loaded with large quantities of explosives and then transported into the Gaza Strip and detonated remotely.

More recently, reports have surfaced regarding the development of explosive barrels that can be dropped by the APCs along streets lined with mines, amplifying their destructive impact. The force of these explosions is so intense that they can be heard over 100km. away from the Gaza Strip.
