Is that an IDF combat vehicle crewman’s helmet she’s carrying?

It might just be a regular helmet with no cover on it.

IDF has had female tank companies and mixed gender battalions for awhile now.
Found this from the times of israel about October 7

There Are two versions of this both using a remotely operated rafal weapons system mounted on the roof. But you don’t see them very often I saw one on display one year . The first version is maned and the driver uses a joystick to operate it the second is a completely remotely operated D9R driven by someone behind the lines and the Gunner is in a chair next to them . This helps protect the equipment used to remote drive the vehicle… on hell of an RC toy…

Yes for a few decades as I recall but they were instructor/training units. Seems like they have been moved to a more frontline role then in the past.
They went operational just over 12 months ago https://www.timesofisrael.com/embargo-1300-idf-solidifies-role-of-all-female-tank-crew-after-two-year-trial-deemed-a-success/

9th photo Achzarit with the strange box on the left rear.
Great detailed photos, thanks for posting.
It is an M1083 5-ton FMTV on the right, looks like it has an armored cab as well.
Something like this.
Trumpeter makes the standard cab version.
Our own @MikeyBugs does a 3D printed LTAS cab.
I used his cab on my M1085 PATRIOT ECS build.

The pictured truck has a longer cargo bed
I guess it’s based on a LWB M1085 truck

It could be. The M1085 is pretty easy to build by stretching the frame and adding additional length to the bed. Sort of what I did in my build above, but the bed is different on the version I built.
Any pictures of JLTV in IDF?

Yeah, and I’m not about to invoke health and safety in the work place legislation and tell them, “don’t stand on the mortar.”
