IDF: Hamas Expanding Its Naval Commando Unit

(Ynet News) Matan Tzuri - "Terror organizations in Gaza understand that they are losing their strategic assets in light of tunnel closures and are focusing on establishing a strong naval commando unit," IDF Lt. Col. Boris Schuster said in an interview. "Terror organizations are practicing the use of quadcopters in order to bomb our Navy ships," he said. "Their naval unit has improved immensely recently and they are training to carry out attacks in Israeli towns and to damage facilities....They're also preparing other options such as boats and rafts packed with explosives, and floating explosive devices. Today we can say we won't encounter isolated attacks anymore but rather attempts to carry out attacks that involve several [Hamas] vessels storming one [Israeli] ship."
