IDF’s ‘YALTAM’ finds, destroys weapons left on seabed by Hamas divers while trying to infiltrate

IDF released footage of the Israeli Navy’s Hebrew YALTAM unit’s underwater mission on November 13. In a major development, YALTAM recovered weapons left behind by Hamas terrorists in the sea from the Oct 7 onslaught. YALTAM scuba forces scanned the seabed in recent days, finding firearms, explosive devices, ammunition, and rubber dinghies. The weapons were brought to the coast where they were later destroyed by the Combat Engineering Corps’ elite Yahalom unit. The commander of the unit stated that the weapons were found underwater after an infiltration attempt by Hamas into Israel at Zikim beach. Notably, IDF continues its operations to neutralise Hamas’ weapons that might harm the civilians.
