"The 120mm shells are also about half the weight of 155mm ones." Closer to 1/3rd. A standard a 120MM M934 round weighs about 30lbs and a 155MM M795 round weighs about 103 lbs. Lighter, smaller, easier to use weaponry is part of the ongoing program of increasing the numbers of military personnel available to the Israeli Army in for mass mobilization. Regular Army operations now use females soldiers in many Combat Service Support roles. Shifting more into Combat Support releases more men for frontline operations, multiplying combat capability. In the event Fortress Israel becomes desperate, lightweight weaponry allows them to mobilize 16yr olds.

This a 120mm mortar that can be mounted on anything from hummer type military vehicle to a commercial pickup truck.\
 
Great, another innovation that can be mounted and used by semi-educated idiots from the back of a 'technical'. Don't the inventors of gee whizz innovations ever THINK about what they're doing, where it will lead?
