PM Netanyahu praises Israel’s naval commando unit, Shayetet 13 : “You have, & we will continue to provide you with all the advanced equipment, but the most advanced item we have, is you. … On behalf of the entire nation, I salute you.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated the newest members of the Israeli Navy’s Flotilla 13 commando unit at their graduation ceremony on Wednesday.
Netanyahu praised the unit for its recent seizure of the Klos C ship, which was carrying weapons from Iran to Gaza.
“You continue to carry out missions both near and far such as stopping a weapons boat, and many other things that few likely know about in Israel. Your routine remains shrouded in darkness,” Netanyahu said.
“The missions you embark on are important like nothing else, extending the arm of the IDF. You have, and we will continue to provide you with, all the advanced equipment, but the most advanced item we have is you. We have not forgotten your contribution to Israel’s security, not for a second.”
Netanyahu saluted the young soldiers “on behalf of the entire nation. … On land and water, near and far, take care of yourselves. Remember we have only one country, we have nowhere else.”
