IDF Namer AIFV Performed Well in Gaza

The Namer is based on a Merkava 4 chassis, and it replaces the preferred personnel carrier for high intensity conflict in the IDF up to this point, which is based on captured T-55 hulls.

It appears that its heavy armor, sensor suite, and remote controlled weapons systems served it well in the conflict.

IIRC, it's the heaviest AFV in the world.
