Page "Yahalom (IDF)" Paragraph 16

* Recent reports indicate that Yahalom has acquired remote-controlled robots that it can insert into tunnels, obviating the need for human operators to risk their lives.

EOD robots for handling improvised explosive devices ( IEDs ), bombs and explosive charges, and advanced EOD vehicles are standard equipment for all engineering units handling explosives.

The Israel Border Police bomb disposal experts use similar equipment.

Yahalom also uses the up-armored IDF Caterpillar D9 bulldozer and the remote-controlled " Raam HaShachar " version of the D9 ( which were found extremely useful for special operation and CT duties ), an armored Excavator with drills, the IDF Puma CEV, and Nakpuma, a Nakpadon APC modified to Yahalom's requirements.
