Oshkosh Corp manufactures the hulls for the Eitan, Israel's newest armored personnel carrier, which was deployed operationally in 2023 during the Gaza conflict, and produces the truck chassis that Israel converts into the Panther armored personnel carrier used in the occupied West Bank. The company's vehicles have been documented in operations involving the transport and detention of Palestinian civilians, including incidents in December 2023 when Israeli military personnel used such vehicles to transport Palestinians from Gaza to Israel for interrogation.
