 Tavor
At the moment of writing (spring of 2003) there were no large purchases of the Tavor by the IDF, because of low funding, but late in the 2002 India signed an US $20M contract with IMI for undisclosed number of TAR-21 assault rifles and Galatz sniper rifles.
The Tavor was not equipped with the normal metal sight that requires closing one eye for shooting.
The design of the Tavor is based largely on lessons learned during military operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip during the 34-month-old Al Aqsa intifada.

Moshe Tavor was a member of the Jewish Brigade, a unit of the British Army that fought the Germans in Italy in 1944-45.

Tavor and his comrades succeeded in locating relatively few Germans who were allegedly involved in Nazi extermination programs, but when they did identify suspects, they took them to isolated places and executed them.

 A Yuletide Tale, by TreeHugger
Tavor had managed to grab a sugared cake, and stood contemplating it for a moment, dark grey eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Tavor gasped in shock -a most pleasant shock - and soon the three were pelting snowballs at one another, feeling more like themselves, and happier than they had been in one another's company for some time.
Tavor had gulped his down quickly, and was waiting to be the first one to receive seconds.

 tavor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The rifle is in the bullpup configuration the same as the French FAMAS, British SA80 and the Australian made Steyr Aug copy.
Bullpup rifles have their magazine well placed after the pistol grip and trigger not before, like a conventional rifle - a layout that shortens the overall length, but does not sacrifice barrel length.
Israel has yet to field the weapon in large quantities, although it has been seen in use by their special forces.

 PakDef Forums - Army to equip counter-insurgency units with Israeli firearms
There is no real breakdown of the TAVOR interms of a carbine or assault rifle since it is a bullpup design and that essentially means a change in the barrel will provide the functionality either way.
With the INSAS 5.56 mm caliber already in use in Kashmir, the TAVOR (with Same caliber) purchase seems to be redundant especially when the INSAS is being produced as a rifle as well as a carbine.
The INSAS is seen as suitable for a convenional war of maneuver (say, with Pakistan) in which logistics would be a concern, but not for close combat with militants in Kashmir which requires heavy firepower without taxing logistical lines.

 Israeli Submachineguns
The Tavor 2 is designed for special operations in close assault situations as well as police use (it will fire rubber bullets without a problem).
The Tavor 2 lacks the flash suppressor of the Micro Tavor, but has virtually all of the other features: MIL-STD-1913 rail over the receiver, bullpup configuration, relatively long barrel, etc. (though the optical sight is not present as a standard feature).
It is not certain whether the Uzi or the MP-5 is the more common submachinegun, but the Uzi had over two decades lead on the MP-5, and almost any civilian on the streets knows what an Uzi is (even if they couldn’t identify it on sight).
