IDF Amphibious history




The first amphibious operation made by the IDF was in the 1948 war of independence


in December 14, 1945, Hannah Szenes sailed from Vado Ligure (Savona), under the command of Italian Captain, carrying 211 passengers. AIDMEN (Associazione Italiana di Documentazione Marittima e Navale) cites Hannah Senesh sailing from Vado, carrying 252 passengers Palmach Information Center cites Hannah Senesh sailed from Genoa
On December 25, 1945, Hannah Szenes beached at Nahariyah, on a stormy night. She listed dangerously and close to capsizing. The passengers landed with the help of Palmach members, men from Nahariyah, and a rope connected from the ship to shore.
Hanna Szenes was refloated, restored in the Haogen shipyard in Haifa. She joined the Sea Service, the beginning of the Israeli Navy. Her ID sign in the Navy was S – 29.


When the Western Galilee was cut from the rest of the country, during the 1948 war, a unit of [color=red]regiment 22 of the Carmeli Brigad boarded Hannah Szenes near the Haifa powerstation, and landed in Nahariyah.

The unit liberated the Jewish settlements in Western Galilee,evacuated the women and children from there, brought them to Nahariyah where they embarked on Hannah Szenes and were brought to Haifa. On May 15, 1948 Hannah Szenes came alongside the military jetty in Haifa the passengers disembarked in front of the British, and she sailed away.

This was part of Operation Ben Ami - Carmeli brigade seizes Arab strongholds north of Haifa and northeast of Acco (Acre) and establish communications with Yehiam and Hanita. During the operation, Shavei Tzion on the northern seacoast is reached by sea, and Napoleon hill is captured by and the town of Acco (Acre).







After the war of independence the IDF was building its amphibious force and combined the Tank Corps with the Navel in joined training .

Amphibious Landing at Awali Beach, Lebanon 1982
During the First Lebanon War, IDF forces landed from the sea and deployed deep within Lebanon, hoping to surround PLO terrorists in the south. Paratroopers, armored forces and Shayetet 13 participated in the day-long operation. IDF forces landed behind enemy lines and cut off the enemy’s supplies, which led to the collapse of the PLO in the south. The operation was a great success despite the heavy artillery fired upon the ships by the terrorists.

Le retex de l'interception du drone du hezbollah donne déjà des résultats,désormais tous les avions légers ou ultra légers devront être équipés de transpondeur,pour permettre a l'armée d'avoir une meilleur image de la circulation aérienne en Israël et dans son espace aérien en méditerranée et en mer rouge.

Downed Hezbollah drone may have relayed intel on secret IDF sites

The IDF shot down a Hezbollah-piloted drone over the northern Negev desert earlier this month after it possibly captured images of secret Israeli military sites. Earlier, Tel Aviv praised the IDF for its rapid response to the security breach.

­The drone was launched from Lebanon and crossed into Israeli airspace on October 6, and stayed airborne for three hours before being intercepted, the Sunday Times reported.

Sources in the region claimed that the unmanned aircraft traveled more than 300 kilometers, and transmitted pictures of preparations for Israel’s joint military exercise with the US, the newspaper said. The aircraft also reportedly spotted ballistic missiles, airfields and likely the nuclear reactor in Dimona.

The British newspaper said that the first missile an Israeli F-16 fighter jet shot at the done missed its target. After the incident, Israeli leadership praised the country’s air forces for their "sharp and effective" response to the violation of the country’s airspace.

The drone is the new Iranian Shahed-129, operated by Iranian Revolutionary Guard technicians with the help of the Hezbollah, the report said.

Earlier, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah took credit for the aerial infiltration, saying that the aircraft was designed by Iran and assembled in Lebanon.

He said the drone was deployed in response to what he called Israel’s repeated violations of Lebanese airspace since 2006. He identified the Dimona reactor as the mission's main target.

"This flight was not our first will not be our last, and we give assurances we can reach any point we want. We have the right to dispatch recon planes over occupied Palestine at any time," Nasrallah said.

Israeli Navy Selects Elta's Radar


Company wins tender for the installation of ALPHA radars on Israeli Navy vessels

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has won a contract for installing ALPHA (Advanced Light Phased Array) radars. The radar is an integral part of the electronic warfare systems installed onboard the Israeli Navy’s Sa’ar 5 missile boats.

The ALPHA radar, produced by Elta Systems and also known as ELM-2258, integrates advanced technology and can create a large number of strobes simultaneously scanning selected areas, and provides clients with a high quality real-time situation image, even in the harsh conditions prevalent in the maritime arena. The radar can carry out several missions concurrently, such as the detection and classification of naval targets, tracking a large number of targets, weaponry guidance for defense and offense and more.

Thanks to its size, the system can be installed onboard corvettes, missile boats and medium-sized reconnaissance vessels. The ALPHA radar is derived from the MF STAR (Multi Function Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar) which is operational in the Israeli Navy’s vessels, as well as in additional global navies.

Nissim Hadas, IAI VP and Elta CEO, stated that “the Israeli Navy’s selection of Elta’s ALPHA radar constitutes further recognition in the capabilities of IAI/Elta to supply the IDF with systems that are preferable to similar systems around the world. Additionally, it is another layer in the glorious tradition of IAI/Elta's contribution to Israel’s security.”

Israel Air Force grounds fighter jets after series of near-accidents

IDF says, however, that fighter jets in the north and south maintained their operational preparedness,




Air force chief Amir Eshel ordered all fighter jets grounded on Sunday, after a series of near-accidents, including one about three weeks ago in which planes piloted by senior officers got too close to each other during a training run.

The Israel Defense Forces said, however, that fighter jets in the north and south maintained their operational preparedness. Maj. Gen. Eshel ordered that all safety procedures at Israel Air Force fighter squadrons be updated. Fighter-aircraft training is expected to resume on Monday.

After the incident in September, the IAF held safety briefings at every squadron. This came after two senior officers - the head of the Adjutant General Branch, Brig. Gen. Ilan Boger, and the commander of the Hatzerim base, Brig. Gen. Ziv Levy - broke safety rules during training when two F-16 D fighter jets came too close to each other.

"The air force has to train [in conditions] as close as possible to reality and maintain its operational capabilities while meticulously maintaining safety," the IDF said.

About a month ago, the air force's fleet of Yasur helicopters was grounded following a hitch in one chopper during a training flight. The crew noticed a problem with the helicopter's rotor and made an emergency landing in an open field near the Tel Nof air base.

In late July, a glitch took place during airborne refueling when a fuel pipe hit the fuselage of an F-16 I fighter jet, causing it light damage, while the in-flight refueling boom was broken. The pilot made an emergency landing at the Ovda air base.

Le ministre iranien de la Défense, le général Ahmad Vahidi, a confirmé lundi que le drone appartenant au mouvement chiite libanais Hezbollah et abattu le 6 octobre au-dessus du désert du Negev, en Israël, avait été fabriqué en Iran, rapporte le site internet de la chaîne de télévision iranienne Press TV.

"Tout ce que nous avons à notre disposition sera opportunément utilisé pour protéger la communauté musulmane et les territoires musulmans, et c'est normal", a indiqué le chef du département militaire iranien.

Le commandement de Tsahal a déclaré le 6 octobre dernier que l'armée de l'air israélienne avait abattu un aéronef commandé à distance ayant fait intrusion dans le sud de l'espace aérien de l'Etat hébreu. Six jours plus tard, Hassan Nasrallah, le leader du mouvement Hezbollah, a reconnu que le drone abattu avait été lancé par son organisation et que l'appareil, conçu par l'Iran, avait survolé des sites israéliens sensibles avant d'être intercepté.

US-Israeli missile defence exercise set for October
By Daniel Wasserbly
10/19/2012
Exercise 'Austere Challenge 2012' ('AC12'), a joint US-Israeli missile defence drill that was postponed in May, is scheduled to begin in October 2012 and see the simulated use of both states' defensive assets.

The first of more than 1,000 US military personnel began arriving in Israel in mid-October for the three-week exercise, and they will be stationed in a variety of locations across the country, according to US Air Force Lieutenant General Craig Franklin, 3rd Air Force commander and senior US commander for 'AC12'.

"I can tell you that it's late October ... [but] we'll stay away from the exact dates for operational security," Gen Franklin told reporters during a 17 October conference call.

'AC12' is to see fewer US participants in Israel than were scheduled for its original May date, but officials maintained that the exercise has not changed in scope.

"Without getting into details, the numbers have changed a little bit, mainly on logistics and other support teams, [but regarding to] troops on the ground, there is no change," said Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Brigadier General Nitzan Nuriel, the IDF's lead planner for 'AC12'.

"This is the largest exercise in the history of the long-standing military relationship between the US and Israel," Gen Franklin added.

Israéliens et Américains entament des manœuvres militaires de grande ampleur

lundi, 22. octobre 2012



(AVI) - Les forces armées israéliennes et américaines ont entamé dimanche des manœuvres militaires de grande ampleur, afin de tester leurs systèmes de défense antimissile. L’exercice, qui mobilise près de 4.500 soldats, s’étalera sur trois semaines. "Il s'agit du plus important exercice de défense aérienne jamais mené en commun par les deux armées", a souligné l'armée israélienne, en précisant qu'il est baptisé "Austere Challenge 2012". Les batteries anti-roquettes "Iron Dome", ainsi que les missiles antibalistiques Arrow 2 et Patriot doivent être testés à cette occasion. Les militaires israéliens testeront également par simulation leur nouveau système "Fronde de David", capable d'intercepter des missiles d'une portée de 40 à 300 km, selon le général Nuriel.

Israel Navy Mulling Purchasing South Korean Ships built by Hyundai


The Media Line Staff
Jerusalem, Israel (The Media Line) – Wasting little time after loosing a bid to sell Israel fighter trainer jets, South Korea has now reportedly offered to build large vessels for the Israeli Navy, which is in need of expansion due to strategic changes in the region.

A team of representatives from the South Korean government and Hyundai Shipyards have been in Israel recently to discuss a deal to build a frigate with a displacement of 1,300 tons, the Israel Defense website reported.

The report said that no costs were discussed and that the contacts were preliminary “but ongoing.” It further revealed that Hyundai, with its advanced ship-building industry, would sell Israel a skeleton vessel and that various Israeli defense industries would install locally made systems on board, including radar and the much-vaunted Barak anti-missile rocket defense system.

Some of the work could be done by the Israel Shipyards in Haifa, which is desperate to crack into the larger naval vessel market. It has proposed investing in new dry docks that would allow them to construct ships of up to 2,100 tons. Lobbyists sought government backing for the idea in order to keep the strategically important firm open. But this plan is reportedly stuck.

A proposal in 2010 to build together with Spain a littoral combat ship (LCS), a small surface vessel used in operations close to shore, fell through and an earlier bid to procure one from the U.S. also was shelved when the prices skyrocketed.

A Korean vessel would likely be far cheaper than anything purchased from the American or Germans, and they would also likely be more flexible when it came to join-industrial partnering.

A spokesman for Hyundai Shipyards could not be reached for comment.

The Israeli Navy already runs the most expensive pieces of equipment in the Israel Defense Forces and these are the German-made Dolphin submarines. It has three in service and three on order, including one deal inked in Germany last week. Each sub is estimated to cost about $600 million and is tailor-made for Israel by the German shipyards.

The Dolphins have a range of 4,500 kilometers (2,800 miles) and are reportedly Israel’s “second strike” platform equipped with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, according to foreign reports. But for a country like Israel, where 95% of its military supplies come from the sea, defending the sea routes is without a doubt an existential strategic interest.

The three Sa’ar 5 class missile corvettes (1,250 tons) the navy received in the mid-1990s supplement its smaller fleet of missile boats making it a formidable force to defend the coast and take on Arab navies. But forward looking people in Israel’s defense establishment and government see a larger role for the navy in the future.

Last month, Israel’s Defense Ministry said it was choosing Italy’s M346 trainer fighter jets over the T-50s built by South Korea. It was a heavily fought procurement battle and many feared spurning the Koreans would have strategic and diplomatic fallout.

“With the jet trainer deal now yesterday’s news, it’s crucial for Israel to change the subject with South Korea as soon as it can. The best way to forget an unsuccessful deal is to put an even better deal on the table,” wrote Ariel Harkham, co-founder of the Jewish National Initiative, in Ha’aretz.

A glance at Israel’s strategic landscape presents a different picture than even a decade ago. Iran’s nuclear ambitions make the Arabian Sea an area for Israel’s navy and it recently sent vessels through the Suez Canal for patrolling off the Horn of Africa. The discovery of gas and oil fields in the Mediterranean off Israel’s coast, an increasingly belligerent attitude by Turkey and Egypt’s teetering on Islamist control all demand that Israel needs to turn itself from a coast guard into a regional naval superpower.

Senior naval commanders, including former Navy Adm. Yedidiya Ya’ari, believe the navy should have a bigger role in future battles. They and some government figures warn that the country is merely “one big and exposed aircraft carrier” whose 11 military airfields and numerous army bases are vulnerable to attack and could be paralyzed by enemy action.

Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz has been a strong supporter for a stockier navy. As chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee he released a paper which saw the navy acquiring frigates, (4,000 tons), destroyers (9,200 tons) and cruisers (12,000 tons) equipped with cruise missiles with a range of some 2,000 kilometers, assault drones and marine artillery, including one being developed now which is capable of firing satellite-guided 155mm rounds between 75 and 120 kilometers.

A call for an Israeli air craft carrier was not on the drawing boards, yet.

The Defense Ministry has successfully completed an upgraded version of the Iron Dome anti-rocket shield, it announced Sunday.

The upgraded system, designed to shoot down rockets at greater ranges than those offered by the older Iron Dome batteries, was tested on Sunday.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak described the development as “significant progress toward the completion of a multi-layered defense system,” adding that further resources will need to be invested.

Barak emphasized the US’s financial support for Israel’s aerial defense capabilities and the Iron Dome system.

A fifth Iron Dome battery, possessing the enhanced capabilities, will come into service within the air force’s Air Defense Command in the coming days.

Iron Dome is the first system of its kind in use in the world, and has intercepted over 100 rockets fired at southern Israel from Gaza in recent years.

The upgrade, carried out by the ministry’s Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructures, is part of a wider initiative to create a multi-layered defense system for missiles and rockets threatening the Israeli home front.

The air defenses include the Magic Wand [also known as David’s Sling] batteries, for shooting down medium-range rockets, and the Arrow 2 system, which intercepts ballistic missiles in the upper atmosphere.

The Ministry of Defense is also developing the Arrow 3, which will be capable of destroying long-range ballistic missiles in space.

Iron Dome is being jointly developed by Israeli defense companies Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Elta Group [a subsidiary of Israel Aerospace Industries], and mPrest Systems.

The companies are working together with the Defense Ministry and the air force.
