Israeli military scrap metal reclamation yards šŸ”

Scrap metal dealer and military salvage operator (1967 - 1985)

After the 1967 and 1973 wars, Israeli salvage yards collected thousands of tons of battle-damaged tank seats, aircraft ejection mechanisms, and artillery shell casings, which were sold by weight as raw material. These yards transformed high-precision military components into anonymous industrial rubble.
