We landlubbers don't often give thought to what is going on seaward. Thanks to this article from Ynet, we can get a glimpse into what is happening in our very own backyard - the Mediterranean Sea.
On the backdrop of the Syrian civil war, navy missile boat fighters are finding themselves sea-deep in work facing dozens of warships in the international waters of the Mediterranean.

A lack of presence in these crucial times, in an area that is of strategic significance to Israel, would make it that much harder to later return to force.
