Among other things, a Sa'ar 6 missile ship regularly patrols near the Tamar platform to prevent damage to it, and at the same time other missile boats, as well as "Dvoras", special forces of Shayetet 13, and more, carry out extensive defensive and offensive activity vis-à-vis the Gaza Strip.

In the month since the beginning of the fighting, Israeli naval forces have fired thousands of shells at Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, mainly in support of the ground forces of the 162nd and 36th Divisions, which are already stationed on the Gaza coast, in full encirclement of the Gaza Strip. Yesterday, too, while we were aboard the Bee, we watched the firing from the 76th cannon of the INS Arrow missile ship at Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, in support of the 401st Armored Brigade.
