Six-Day War, 5–10 June 1967
Yom Kippur War, 6–25 October 1973
M-51 saw combat in the Six-Day War that left the Golan Heights, the West Bank, and the Sinai peninsula in Israeli hands, often fighting against Soviet World War II-era armor like the T-34/85. Both were also employed in the 1973 Yom Kippur War alongside and against much more modern tanks.
In combat against the Arab armies, the M-51 proved itself capable of fighting newer, heavier tanks like the Soviet-built T-54/55/62. The M-51's 105 mm gun could penetrate these adversaries using HEAT ammunition.
