That said. There's a lot of clips here of tanks being hit with RPGs but nothing of a tank actually being destroyed.

I'm fairly sure this is a deliberate choice on the part of both hamas and hezbollah. Both have definitely destroyed Merkavas but neither have released any footage of the aftermath of a hit, only the explosion, nothing further.

I don't know the exact reason they're not releasing more but at this point with so many confirmed kills (by Israel) there must be a reason for it.

honestly, considering that Hamas at least is a guerilla force operating out of tunnels against a horrific bombing campaign and a foe with air superiority, their troops probably have to GTFO as fast as they can after any attack. RPG troops don't stick around to see the aftermath of their attack usually, you want to shoot and then immediately retreat to cover or a flanking position in case the tank or its allies return fire.

The holy doctrine of 'shoot and scoot.'
