VOICED: Israeli army's new home-grown weapon of choice

The video discusses the introduction of the Israeli Tavor rifle, replacing the American M16. The Tavor, developed after the 1982 Lebanon invasion, is more ergonomic and compact, making it suitable for urban warfare.

In what ways has the Tavor rifle proven itself in combat situations?
