Israeli Navy forces trapped a boat three weeks ago with shipment of a ton's worth of materials for rocket manufacturing, intended for Hamas in Gaza. The operation was captured on camera and was cleared for publication on Wednesday night.
The operation was manned by the 916th Company, based in Ashdod, which is charged with protecting Israel's southern shores. "Thwarting smuggling attempts like this happens almost every week," Lt. Col. Liav Zilberman – whose unit was awarded a citation for its performance in Operation Protective Edge – told Ynet.
