The Israeli army is one of the most combat-ready armed forces in the world today. Largely because the army of a given country is in fact constantly in a state of either direct war, or a state very close to it. At the same time, there are many oddities in the IDF. For example, some soldiers carry some kind of mysterious bags on their heads for something.
It is worth immediately recovering from two points. First, Israel has been on alert for virtually all of the time since its founding in 1948. Second, the IDF soldiers do not wear "some mysterious bags" on their heads. This item may be "mysterious", but definitely not a "bag". What is it? The answer is simple - it is a mitznefet, a wardrobe item that our compatriots would rather recognize by the word turban. They have been using mitznefets in the Israel Defense Forces since 1978. It is noteworthy that, despite its success and success of its use, this piece of equipment has never taken root in more than one army in the world.
What is mitznefet? In fact, this is a shapeless cover, which is made in most cases from a camouflage net. The turban is pulled over the helmet. It is necessary to increase the level of camouflage of a fighter. The Israelis used mitznefets for the first time during the military operation in Lebanon, and there this object of disguise showed its best side.

The bottom line is that the turban disguises not only the head, but in most cases hides even the most abrupt movements of this part of the body. As a result, a fighter lying or sitting behind a high cover may not reveal his location to the enemy for much longer. And this, in turn, increases the level of survivability of soldiers in battle and leads to a reduction in losses in units.
