I didn't know that the IDF had their own "rendition" of the Vietnam era Mule, based on a CJ-5 chassis (according to the caption...) :

Hi Henri-Pierre,

Very nice, thanks for posting.

With the right drawings and some pictures, it can be easily scratch-built

All I know is that the pics have been taken at the Israeli Air Force Museum (Hatzerim Airbase) in the Negev desert...

I think a more likely use would be for airmobile operations.

Notice the pedestalmount and ammo stowage on some of the vehicles.
