Can anyone tell me if the Israelis have ever whitewashed their vehicles? I'm thinking about doing a Mount Hermon diorama. Thanks, guys!

I can think of two "Winter" vehicles:

1: there are two cab snow cat vehicles used on Mt. Hermon

2: When I served there we got white/grey camo netting for our AFVs but it was a test thing and they took them away from us after we finished our time on the mountain

No white tanks though,

Thanks! I'm building an M3 halftrack and was wondering if there was anything unusual I could try. Maybe I'll just cover it with a light dusting of snow.
