Eitan (Hebrew for "steadfast", "firm" or "strong") is an armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) developed by the Merkava and Armoured Vehicles Directorate in the IMOD to replace the ageing M113 armoured personnel carrier in use by the Israel Defense Forces.[7]
Its APC variant lacks the Iron Fist APS, due to the fact those are not the serial production Eitan vehicles yet. The IFV variant is still not in service.
