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:
FN MAG 58 machine guns are used by some of the IDF Paratroopers. Another MAG is also mounted on the tank's turret, although it is never used in the film.
Launchers
RPG-7
Although seen at a distance, a Syrian soldier (Dudu Tassa) fires a RPG-7 at the tank, damaging it before being captured by Israeli forces.
