Camouflage Helmet
What are the "hats" for, that the Israeli military uses?
they are being worn in this photo:

im assuming they are "add-ons" to their helmets... are they only for camouflage? or do they have another/other purposes?
Those look like they might be "panchos" or a rain coat rolled and attached to the helmets. It would be a good place to carry one. Out of the way and readily accessible. It's just a guess though.
