“The joint combat capabilities of the IDF can be seen in the offensive operation Northern Arrow,” says Rear Adm. Eli Soholitzky. “Missile boats, patrol vessels, intelligence bases, command and control, fire and other vessels are playing an integral role in offensive and defensive missions in the north, and in supporting the 146th Division.”
