m-60A-1 were used by the israel in 1973 war,but just how effective was xenon search light? did the israel ever use in night combat?

Others with better knowledge will chime in, but I remember reading somewhere about the IDF using an ambush tactic where one tank in a squadron would "paint" the enemy tanks with its searchlight, while the others would pick them off one by one. Obviously the tank with the light is a bit exposed, but the others are not seen until they fire, at which point it is too late. IIRC this action was with Cents and M51s, but I expect the same could be done with the M60A1?

I know, it's not the '73 war and no M60's but Centurions, but still...Some of the night tank battles of the Six Days War explained here (31:50) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cehD_pdYDV8
