	JINSA Online -- Israel’s Navy Steps Up to Security Challenge in Wake of Gaza Pull-Out: Small Sea Service Boasts ...
		While Israel’s Mediterranean Sea coastline is but 123 miles long, the water border presents unique challenges to Israel’s defenders and has been the avenue of attack for several terrorist groups.

		Israeli naval forces were able to intercept one of the boats approximately 13 miles off Ga’ash, Israel, but the remaining boat was able to reach the coast where it’s complement of terrorists were intercepted by IDF soldiers from the Golani Brigade along a deserted beach south of Tel Aviv.

		According to Navy sources here, the young officer incorrectly assessed the significance of a malfunctioning electronic warfare detector tube, and kept the passive defense system on standby when it technically was capable of operating in high-alert mode.
		According to a U.S. Navy after-action report from June 1987, the SPS-49 radar was switched on only six minutes prior to the attack and did not establish a continuous, real-time track of the launching aircraft until the first missile actually struck the ship.
