Israel Navy Expands Long-Range Operations
(Defense News) Barbara Opall-Rome - Last month's capture of an Iranian arms cache in international waters south of the Red Sea's Port Sudan "is the tip of the iceberg in terms of what we do. We are doing thousands of hours in the Mediterranean and Red Seas," said Rear Adm. Yaron Levi, Israel Navy chief of staff and the Navy's second in command. "It's one of the few examples we can talk about that reflects our ability to deploy forces effectively over very long ranges on missions that are measured by bottom-line results...that clearly and directly strengthen the security of our state."
