Those M48s, M60s, and T55s don't stand a chance against the current ATGMs and can't fight at night anyway. Israel doesn't have a lot of friends that they can sell to any way. The ones that they would sell to can do better than this stuff at home.
The Israelis rebuilt their M48s as ATGM carriers. They apparently still think enough of them to keep them in the line in that role.
