Since Hamas’ October 7 attack, Iran’s regional proxies have launched increased barrages targeting both Israeli and American military assets in the Middle East. While the IDF focuses on Gaza, Hezbollah, the Houthis or other regional actors could exploit the ongoing war and target Israel’s oil rigs. For this reason, Israel’s Navy is on high alert.
On October 7, Hamas terrorists breached Israel from many points of entry. Paragliders, weaponized bulldozers, and boats were just some of the vessels that Hamas used to enter Israel and kill as many Jews as possible. While the Gaza-based terror group slaughtered at least 1,400 people and injured thousands more, Israel’s Navy singlehandedly prevented many more fighters from entering the Jewish state by water. Earlier last month, the IDF released footage that shows the Navy’s efforts to eliminate terrorists attempting to gain access to Israel by water. In the video, Hamas speedboats are sunk by Israel’s Dvora-class patrol boats.
