From today's edition of The Jerusalem Post:
Israeli Navy commandos prevented a terror attack on Monday morning, when a unit of heavily armed Palestinian frogmen was intercepted in the Nahal Aza area...
According to IDF, the size of the unit and equipment it was carrying proved that a large scale attack had been planned, and only the commandos' quick, effective response prevented a disaster.
This foiled terrorist operation highlights the security threat posed by terrorist organizations from within the Gaza Strip and the need to limit their ability to obtain weapons and other materials that they could use to strengthen their capabilities. In other words, it reaffirms the need to maintain security measures, including the maritime blockade. Indeed, without a blockade, it is plausible that the terrorists would have slipped away from the Gaza Strip undetected.
