Great! Now if a manufacturer have a good idea and produce IDF soldiers with their new uniforms and gear. I understand the interest of ukrainian war soldiers but evolution of IDF soldiers since 1982 is a very interresting subject.

Tatra 815 used by 5515 special mobility unit. Note MAG in the back and the APC-style folding ramp. I took the photo shortly after the war began.

Thanks Sirpad ! I had found this view showing troops of the 810th Brigade under the command of the 210th Division operating in the Mount Hermon area :
and couldn’t find more to ID this vehicle …

The Tatra probably replace the old Mercedes trucks i saw in South Lebanon.
Troop transport in hot area, like the us marines Mk23 with armored compartment.
This system is used in Lebanon since 1982 in the blue line

The Achzarit is one of my favorites amd its continued use is testament to Israeli ingenuity, as seen here, from ‘Tanks & AFV in the Iron Swords war’ from Desert Eagle Publishing, with rubber patches on the hull sides and with spaced armour. Enjoy,

If you’re building the one shown:
Then yes, but…
Negative, Ghost Rider. That is not the version you want to use at all. You’ll want the Hobby Boss RSOV kit, for the following reasons:
1: The grill in the photo is only found in two of the kits - the Hardtop and the RSOV. The others use a PE mesh in place of the louvres. You can even see the difference in the kit’s box art.
2: The RSOV already has openings in the body to access the rear seats, along with the correct interior layout. You’ll still have to remove the B pillar.
3: The RSOV is left hand drive, as is the IDF version.
4: The RSOV comes with the correct wheel type.
I’ve built every version Hobby Boss offers, and some that they don’t. If you haven’t started yet, but still want to attempt it, I’ll be happy to help. There is a pitfall that every single kit has in common. And the RSOV is a piece of fiction anyway. I also plan to build a few more Landies for myself in the future, but not an IDF variant. At least not yet.
I know, I’m very late to the party, (I skip a lot of this thread) but better late than never.

I was a loyal customer of Accurate-Armour for years. I’d place a large order every year or two, and when their IDF Land Rovers came out I thought I had plenty of time. 
They still have a few built up kits on their site but that’s about it.
In looking at the many available photos online, none of the builds seem daunting. Again, I’d start with the RSOV and go from there. Many have the cut down rear fender and what appears to be a locally produced tailgate. Whatever it is, it doesn’t come in the kit but doesn’t look difficult to make at all.
