	Israeli Engineering Corps - Definition, explanation
		The IEC barret's color is silver and their symbol include a sword on a tower with a blast halo on the background.
		The Israeli Engineering Corps (IEC חה"ן) are based upon the sabotage unit of the Palmach and the tractors operators units of the Israeli War of Independence.
		However, the IEC were most known for operating the armored IDF Caterpillar D9 bulldozers, which are cited by many Israelis as a key factor in keeping IDF casualties low and successfully fighting terrorism.

	Israeli Landmine Policy and Related Regional Activity, by Aharon Etengoff and Prof. Gerald Steinberg (5.3)
		Although the Israeli people feel it is impossible to separate policies dealing with landmines or any other topic related to security from the broader political framework, Israel has been taking and continues to take the dangers posed by landmines seriously, offering assistance in mine clearance, education and rehabilitation.
		Israeli policy stipulates that mine fields must be clearly marked on maps, as well as fenced off, and that entry to mined areas is strictly forbidden.
		Thus, Israeli citizens, in general, accept and support policies that are perceived as necessary in response to a hostile environment and fatal terrorist activities.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Combat engineering
		A general combat engineer is often called a Pioneer or "Sapper" (the word itself is derived from the French and British armies, and refers to the origin of combat engineering).
		The difference between a military engineer and a combat engineer is that a combat engineer usually operates during battle and under fire, while a military engineer is mostly not directly involved in the fighting.
		The most notable engineers of ancient times were the Romans, who constructed huge siege-machines (catapults, battering rams and siege towers) and were responsible for constructing fortified wooden camps and paved roads for their legions.

	TIME.com: Inside the Battle of Jenin
		Many noncombatants had fled; Israeli intelligence believes half the camp's residents had left before the troops arrived, and that by the third day of the battle 90% of the residents were gone.
		The Israelis had already lost seven men, but as they advanced, the Palestinian defenders retreated to the Hawashin district at the camp's center, where their defenses were strongest.
		The Israelis, however, were winning; the sheer force of their assault was beginning to tell on the Palestinian fighters.

	The Raw Story \| Israeli report will rank Iran nuke program as graver security threat than militants
		An internal Israeli military report is expected to rank the threat of Iran's nuclear program as a larger threat to Israeli security than a decades-long battle with Palestinian militants, the AP reported in a little-noticed article Monday.
		Instead, the army is moving forward based on a working plan that it is nearing another round of bloody violence with the Palestinians.
		In order to prepare for a conflict with the Palestinians, the army will shift its resources toward counter-terrorism units and away from traditional forms of warfare, such as the armor, artillery and engineering corps.

	Caterpillar D9 at AllExperts
		The D9 gained media attention in the new millennium due to its use by the Israeli Defense Forces in the destruction of enemy infrastructure as part of its controversial security operations.
		This was seen as a move to distance itself from the Israeli army's use of the Caterpillar bulldozers to destroy Palestinian homes and uproot thousands of olive trees during controversial security operations.
		D7G dozers are still very common in US combat engineering battalions, but there is a resurgent high demand to replace the lighter D7Gs with the newer and more heavily armored D9s.
