The IDF doctrine-afaik- does stress on the last, long range engagements. On the Golan for instance, they are said to field prepared positions, where the tank is sufficiently elevated- with only the gun and optics visible, and a part of the turret showing, for it to be able to engage in long range sniping, and hence whittle down any mass attack. I am currently reading a book on ''73 and they did it then too, of course, with advances in optics and sights, the ranges have kept pace.
