“We see rearming on every level on the sea-front — systems, weapons and trainings. Hamas sees the sea as an option to achieve its aggressive, operational ambitions,” said Maj. Irad Shtatar, commander of the Ashdod Observation Company, the division of the Israeli Navy charged with tracking Hamas’ efforts to launch naval attacks. The company is made up entirely of female soldiers.
