The Hebrew title "Sha'at Ne'ila", reference to the final prayer service on Yom Kippur.
The tanks seen in Israeli army service were called Shot Cal, and were updated versions of the British centurion battle tank developed after the second World War. The IDF improved the weaponry and drive train, overtime improving the armour. The tanks used in filming have had the later armour removed to give the appearance of earlier versions. The tank continued in the IDF until the 1980s, and many were converted into armoured personnel carriers some of which have continued to be used into the 21st century.
