IDF scuba forces find, destroy weapons left on seabed by Hamas divers trying to infiltrate
Times of Israel ^ | November 13, 2023 | EMANUEL FABIAN

The Israel Defense Forces releases footage of the Navy’s underwater missions unit — known by its Hebrew acronym YALTAM — recovering weapons left behind by Hamas terrorists in the sea from the October 7 onslaught and other attacks since.

During the October 7 attacks, members of Hamas’s naval forces tried to infiltrate into Israel via the sea. Navy forces managed to kill dozens of them, largely foiling the seaborne attack. There have been other attempts by the terror group to send divers to infiltrate into Israel in recent weeks.

YALTAM scuba forces scanned the seabed in recent days, finding firearms, explosive devices, ammunition and rubber dinghies that were sunk by Navy fire.

The weapons were brought to the coast, where they were destroyed by the Combat Engineering Corps’ elite Yahalom unit, the IDF says.

What needs to happen is— demand the billionaires who own and run the Hamas criminal outfit, be arrested and sent to Israeli authorities for trial, conviction and execution.

That would stop the entire top to bottom “leadership”.

Hamas navy- there’s a concept- rubber boats and dhows.

Too bad the IDF wasn’t this active and effective on October 7th.

The Gaza attack is not the first sneak attack in history. There have been many, many. This time the attack was successful, but the vengeance will be even more so. No more Hamas.
