IAF F-16 equipped with LANTIRN or similar ?

Just wondering what sort of night/all weather capability the
Israeli F-16s have now that there is a large buy of smart munitions on
the way ?

More accurately, the Rafael/NG Litening pod; Rafael developed the initial

Gotta wonder if some of the early gen Rafael pods are not still in operation
with the IDF.
