Lebanon is a 2009 war film written and directed by Samuel Maoz, based on his experiences as a 19-year-old conscript in the IDF during the 1982 Lebanon War. It is notable for being set entirely inside an Israeli Centurion Main Battle Tank. Set during the first day of the war, the tank is dispatched with a platoon of Israeli paratroopers led by Gamil (Zohar Shtrauss) to clear out a small town. As the mission goes wrong, the men in the tank suffer from heat exhaustion, frayed nerves, claustrophobia and each other.
The following firearms are seen in the 2009 film Lebanon:
Submachine Guns

A Christian Phalangist (Ashraf Barhom) is armed with an IMI Uzi as he talks to IDF soldiers and the tank crew.
Assault Rifles

IMI Galil ARM
Most of the IDF paratroopers in the film use the IMI Galil ARM, the light machine gun variant of the rifle.
IMI Galil SAR

AKMS

Rifles
M21 Sniper Rifle
An IDF Paratrooper uses an M21 Sniper Rifle in the town.
Machine Guns
FN MAG 58
