We're taking a look at the short but very intriguing history behind the Israeli Defense Force's one of a kind helmet cover... The Mitznefet.

I made something similar to this when I was a kid for playing paintball. I thought it was badass until I tried to run through some pine trees and the branches snagged in the netting and stopped my head cold. Unfortunately, my feet kept going after my head stopped... It was probably funny to watch, in retrospect.

While most other helmet camo's are made to blend in with nature, the miznefet works equally good in urban warfare. It breaks the silhouette equally good in bushes as it does amongst rubble. THAT's the main difference.

When it comes to camouflage, color and pattern is only half the story. What is most important and generally overlooked is the art of breaking up your silhouette. The human brain is super quick at spotting the human shape, even when the color is matched perfectly. Turning invisible is at this point in time impossible.

Председатель партии Наш дом Израиль, депутат кнессета Авигдор Либерман на пресс-конференции лидеров оппозиции: «Я хотел бы поблагодарить президента страны Ицхака Герцога за попытку предложить основу для переговоров между всеми фракциями кнессета. К сожалению, мы видим, что руководители коалиции категорически ее отвергли. Сегодня очевидно, что главным двигателем всего этого безумного законотворчества, самым жестким, наиболее непримиримым элементом, не готовым ни к какому компромиссу, являются партии ШАС и Яхадут ха-Тора. Их брутальное и бесцеремонное поведение в кнессете наносит ущерб Государству Израиль, Армии обороны Израиля и иудаизму. Поэтому мой вывод однозначен: если мы не отделим религию от государства, у нас не будет государства. Невозможно говорить о равенстве в несении общественной нагрузки, экономическом равенстве, гендерном равенстве и равенстве меньшинств, когда дельцы из ШАС и Яхадут ха-Тора держат за горло и коалицию, и государство. Отделение религии от государства и равенство в несении общественной нагрузки являются двумя наиболее важными вопросами для будущего Государства Израиль. Еще раз: если мы не отделим религию от государства, у нас не будет государства. Настойчивость Яхадут ха-Тора в отношении преодоления вето БАГАЦа служит лишь одной цели: закрепить законодательно уклонение ультраортодоксальной молодежи от обязанности служить в ЦАХАЛе или на альтернативной службе и от необходимости работать. ШАС борется за «закон Дери», никто из них не борется за Государство Израиль. Абсурдная ситуация, когда наши дети и внуки служат в ЦАХАЛе, ходят на резервистские сборы, работают и платят налоги и на практике и защищают, и финансируют тех, кто сидит в ешиве, просто неприемлема. Отделение религии от государства включает четыре основных компонента: 1. Обязательная служба для всех. Каждый юноша 18 лет- еврей, мусульманин, христианин, друз, черкес - любой гражданин обязан призваться на воинскую или альтернативную службу, никаких исключений, никаких «торато умануто» («его учение - его ремесло»). 2. Юридическая система. Не будет никакой параллельной правовой системы, все раввинские суды любого рода не получат ни государственной поддержки, ни бюджетного финансирования. Существующая процедура добровольного арбитража распространится и на раввинские суды. Если обе стороны хотят обратиться туда, они будут иметь на это право, но государство никоим образом не обязано поддерживать раввинские суды. Гражданские браки и разводы станут частью этого же процесса. 3. Учебное заведение, в котором не преподаются базовые предметы, не будет иметь права на какое-либо государственное финансирование. 4. Открытие предприятий в субботу и работа общественного транспорта по субботам будут находиться в юрисдикции местных властей на основании подзаконных актов, государство не сможет вмешиваться в этот вопрос. Конечно, есть еще ряд законов, необходимых для завершения этого процесса, но это первый шаг. По завершении процесса Израиль должен стать государством с конституцией, конституционным судом и полным разделением религии и государства». סף בוך, חוקר ותזונאי, מסביר אילו ויטמינים ורכיבי מזון אחרים מחזקים את מערכת ההגנה מבנה ופעולת מערכת החיסון הינם סבוכים ומורכבים ועובדים כמו מערך צבאי ענק שכולל קו הגנה קדמי, אותו מייצגת מערכת החיסון המולדת המורכבת ממחסומים טבעיים שמגנים על הגוף כמו העור ומערכת העיכול, וקו הגנה אחורי שהוא למעשה מערכת החיסון הנרכשת, שכוללת תאים לימפוציטים שמייצרים ומחמשים את מערכת החיסון ב"כלי נשק", כמו נוגדנים וחלבונים שיחד אחראים לעצירת הגורמים המאיימים.גורמי ההשפעה של התזונה על החיסוניות של הגוף מתייחסים לסגנון האכילה שכולל את שלל המזונות המרכזיים הנצרכים, קבוצותיהם ומרכיביהם. כך למשל, דפוס התזונה בעל הייחוס הגבוה ביותר להגנה בפני תחלואה ותמותה כמו גם בהקשר של התגובה החיסונית הינו התזונה הים-תיכונית.בשנים האחרונות יותר ויותר מחקרים מצביעים על הקשר האפשרי בין תזונה לבין החיסוניות של הגוף. זה קורה בכמה דרכים: בחיזוק חומות ההגנה של הגוף, כמו הפחתת חדירות

Today's Mitznefet is standard issued, made by agilite, the days of making your own gear are over. Also peep at Hamas and Hezbollah and even other Shia militias photos and you can see that they also use very similar mitznefets, for that reason wearing mitznefets today is discouraged. oh never mind you said that in the vid lol. some more points on this: 1. with the rise of CCB in tunnels urban areas and forests don't give the mitznefets very many positives as before. 2. the Nukhba and Raduan forces of Hamas and Hezbollah respectivly are designed to look exactly like IDF soldiers to sow confusion in the fighting. 3. with all the facts above it's prohibited to wear a mitznefet even in combat in certain sectors, such as fighting in Gaza. but they're still issued to all soldiers, we used them as mosquito nets to sleep in the field. 4. with the NVG reform that started in 2020 every infantryman gets an NVG, it's not comfortable to use with the mitznefet at all.

The M1 was a multi function item, it offered head protection, balls protection in helicopters, a wash basen, a cooking pot, a hand to hand weapon, an early warning device when suspended from camo wire with a couple spent casings in it, a pillow, a support/brace, just to name a few! We lost a lot when we switched to the single use ballistic "Stahlhelme" 😢

Fun -fact- theory: It's a well supported theory that long human hair performs the same roles as this in the natural animal kingdom. It's further theorized that women, who often stayed to feed young in a pre-baby-formula era benefited from concealment more, eventually leading to the universal, cross nation tradition of women wearing their hair longer.

Hamas are, in practice, are insurgents, so less professional consideration goes into their equipment choice, at least for the general force, and and it based more on what seems cool. A good example of this are Iraqi solsiers noticing that American ones often go with kneepads around the ankle (because it slips down), so they assumed that this is how it's supposed to be. Now many wear them exclusively around the ankles while well connected or respected soldiers are allowed to wear 2 kneelads around the same ankle as a status symbol.

Here is my problem with these helmet covers. I am reasonably certain in a prone firing position, with the rest of the body concealed down slope, these covers can be very effective. Especially among rocks or rubble. However, in any other situation it's effectiveness is questionable. But here is my main complaint--if you are going to go to the extreme of wearing these dorky muffin caps--then go the rest of the way. Paint your faces and use camouflage uniforms, or better some kind of Ghillie suit. Consistency of mode is key.

Ir would be well to note that movement negates any camo or cover, unless the wearer can move at a snail's pace.

I don't know. After watching some recent footage of these things in action, it seems like it gets in the way. As a former US soldier myself - I don't think I'd want to have to continually worry about my helmet cover getting caught on stuff, blowing in the wind, and possibly obstructing my vision at inopportune times. There is enough to worry about in tactical situations, I wouldn't want to add something else like this to the list.

After Austria's recent adoption of camouflage uniforms, and Canada's adoption of CADPAT some years ago, Israel has got to be pretty much the only 'western' country that still doesn't have a universal issue camouflage uniform?

I think they decided its not worth the logistical nightmare of issuing new uniforms to all the reservists. The backbone of Israel's army it's it's reservists who continue from the end of their regular service at 21 until they are 40 and are even willing to go higher up the pool in a dire emergency so you would need to issue new combat fatigues to everyone.

I heard that it was developed in the First Intifada to A) soften the impact of rocks/other objects thrown by Palestinians when you put material under it and B) make it more difficult for Palestinians to tell them apart from their own irregular forces.
