the most famous battle fought by the brigade was on the golan heights in october 1973.the brigade commander was avigdor ben-gal.he fought a magnificent mobile battle against the syrians. in a sense the brigade was lucky because the main syrian onslaught was on the barak brigade which operated in the southern part of the golan.it was decimated.ben-gal was able to prepare firing positions for his brigade before the war. his best battallion commander was avigdor kahalani who won the the most prestigous medal given by the israel defence forces.

in the six day war the brigade was commanded by shmuel gonen who also performed well.

other commanders of the brigade have been the following:

1 avigdor kahalani 2 gershon hacohen 3 ori orr? 4 israel tal 5 avraham adan 6 david elazar ? 7 shamir 8 haim laskov 9 yitzhak harel 1991-1993 10 shmuel gonen 1967

[edit] French AMX 13

• "[...] During the Israeli Independence war of 1948, the 7th Brigade consisted of AMX-13 light tanks..."

This light tank destroyer came out of production lines in the early fifties only, and were massive delivered to Israel in 1956 for "Operarion kadesh" with the M50 "Super Sherman". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:M50-Supersherman-latrun-1.jpg
