(Ynet News) Moshe Ronen and Elad Zratt - Shayetet 13 is the Israeli army's elite naval special forces unit. Six prominent Shayetet 13 commanders are interviewed here: Izzy Rahav, who became the unit's commander in 1950; Maj.-Gen. Zeev Almog; Maj.-Gen Yedidia Yaari, now Rafael Advanced Defense Systems' CEO; Uzi Livnat; Brig.-Gen. Yishayahu Brosh, under whose command the unit assassinated Abu Jihad in Tunis and sunk a PLO ship in Cyprus; and Eli Glickman, today the CEO of Israel Electric Corp. "We changed the terrorists' agenda," Brosh concludes. "Instead of terrorists spending 99% of their time planning and preparing their next steps for attacking us, we put them on the defensive in their own bases."
