I just read an article on the Golan MRAP. The Marines have evidently ordered a considerable number of them. The IDF also ordered several as well. I believe that they are being sent to Iraq soon.
Good pics below.

The Golan supposedly did very well in testing. What sets it apart (clear in photos) is the remote gun system similar to that on the Stryker. Unlike the other MRAPs there will be no (sane) Soldiers or Marines in an open turret.
