includes five M4/FL-10 tanks, five M4 turrets, & five Tank Commanders.
Each infantry brigade had a full battalion of 30 T-34/85 tanks under command, although the Palestinian 7th Infantry Division in the Gaza Strip had a battalion of Sherman tanks instead. Some of their Sherman tanks were modified to carry the FL-10 turret of the AMX-13 light tank, significantly increasing their firepower.
While some tanks in the Gaza Strip launched mobile counterattacks against the attacking Israeli forces, those at Abu Ageila fought from their defensive positions without attempting to manoeuvre. This gave them considerable protection against the bigger guns of the Israelis, although it did disperse their effort to a degree.
