Israeli Navy Commander Describes the War

(Jerusalem Post) Amir Bohbot - After Houthi cruise missile and drone attacks on Israel from Yemen, Cmdr. Omer Karmi, commander of Israel's Sa'ar 6 missile boat flotilla, supervised the transfer of a missile ship from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea via the Suez Canal. He then went to oversee missile ship deployments near Lebanon, safeguarding Israel's offshore gas rigs. The flotilla has intercepted multiple drones and cruise missiles, as well as conducted strikes in Lebanon and Gaza. Sailors maintain 24/7 readiness, prepared to respond within seconds. Karmi said in an interview that over the past year, the flotilla has logged three times the hours at sea of previous years. "I commanded three fronts simultaneously: Gaza, the North, and the Red Sea. This means handling intelligence, dealing with a variety of threats and being prepared for them, maintaining the readiness of the vessels, increasing operational alertness, and ensuring high discipline and focus among the fighters."
