IDF Col. Eli Socholotzki said. "It’s the 61st Independence Day of the State of Israel. The missile ships just went by and so did the “bees” and other boats belonging to the navy. This is a salute and a happy holiday message to the State of Israel, the nation of Israel. The sea transport is accompanied by civilian yachts. This is a salute of the army and all the 'people of the sea' in the State of Israel.
