Of course you don’t drive around in a urban environment without infantry support, that is asking for trouble.
But the question still remains, how can you knock out a buttoned up MBT like the Merkava, or which MBT you would choose by throwing rocks?

Any infantry can destroy tanks by close assaulting them.
Those without A/T weapons may well run away in tank panic or become severely suppressed if they fail.
"Rocks" are
not rocks - they are a class 1 infantry weapon with range 1 (or 2?). The game has no "rock" or "spear" or "bow" weapon classes. So they ripped open a hatch and sprayed the insides of the tank crew compartment with a class 1 HE weapon.
Before WW2, some Abyssinian tribesmen dealt with an Italian tankette by swarming it and then manually flipping it onto its back. Then they lit a fire under it.
