israeli lizard camo uniforms

French made Lizard camo smocks were donated to the Israeli Forces by the French likely around 1965 and were first seen during the 6 Day War in 1967, mainly by Israeli paratroopers and other elite units. These uniforms ranged from French Mle 1947/51, Mle 1947/58, and Mle 58 smocks since there was no standardization. They were phased out by the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
