IDF Military Censor lifts news blackout blackout -- Jerusalem traffic has been snarled for hours due to a stuck Merkava-4 tank.
The Jerusalem Municipality wanted to impress pre-draft high school students by inviting the IDF to bring one of their top-of-the line IDF tanks to the Ben-Yehuda pedestrian mall. Unfortunately, the concrete traffic stoppers at the entrance to the mall prevented the tank carrier for delivering the tank.
After hours of trying to maneuver the tank to the pedestrian mall (and snarling Jerusalem's traffic as well), the frustrated organizers gave up and sent the tank back.
