Event highlights the importance of Israeli aerial targets detection over the Mediterranean Sea.
The offshore gas rigs, from which Israel derives most of its energy requirements, are not only a strategic asset for the State of Israel but are also a strategic target for Israel's rivals, with an emphasis on Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas.
In any future campaign against Hamas and Hezbollah, the gas rigs will be the target for the terror organizations' missiles and rockets. This is why the Israeli Navy was equipped with the "Magen" Saar 6 ships, made in Germany and designed to protect Israel's critical strategic infrastructure at sea and near the coast.
