Israel Navy’s defense of Mediterranean gas fields displayed in war game
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. September 2, 2015, 8:28 PM (IDT)
The Israeli Navy Wednesday, Sept. 2, staged a defensive exercise, which centered on the elite Shayetet 13 unit practicing the silent, smooth ejection of terrorists who had “captured the Yam Tethys Mediterranean gas field, off Ashkelon. The show's star was the upgraded Barak-8 multipurpose seaborne defense missile. But the key to defense, say debkafile’s military experts, is intelligence for early warning of enemy plans of attack and recording its actions in real time – whether sabotage or missile or drone strike.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
