(IsraelNN.com) The Israeli Navy has become a quiet participant in the military’s attempt to defend the south of Israel from Gaza-based Kassam rocket attacks, according to Defense News.
The Navy is using phased array radar, which can spot a can of Coke at up to 20 nautical miles, among other anti-terrorist technologies. The report said that the Navy recently used sea and land-based support systems in military retaliatory attacks on Gaza rocket launch sites, including firing 25-mm and 76-mm cannons.
It is also expected that the Navy will expand its participation in military ground and air force operations in Gaza, a significant change from its previous support role.
